Saint Nikolaus, bishop of Myra, patron of sailors, friend of all children.
This is the common German (and mostly European) look of "Sanra Claus". I have to mention I kinda hate the hysteric Coca Cola version. Santa animates to buy, nothing more.
At Dezember the 6th, Nikolaus and his fellow, a wild man with a hundred of names, comes to earth and gifts good children, bad ones are beated with a birch.
Niko was replaced by father christmas and Christkind (some angel/baby Jesus mixture) after Luther divided the church. But still he wasn't forgotten, and because of that kids are gifted twice in christmas time (although at Niko's day they get more gingerbread and stuff like that)
Merry Christmas to everyone, and a blessed new year!

Yes, it's a pity.
But anyway Santa Claus heralds the same message like the historic Nikolaus: Christmas and Advent season are the time of love and joy, time of the children and everything innocent and pieceful. He tells that giving is more worthy than taking, and that people should believe (even if it's just one time a year) in something bigger and better then their own, egoistic little horizon.

I've done paintings with this original, alas all of them burned in a fire, the originals washed off by the next season. Still i had a green and a blue Santa before. In MIchigan however they are of german desent so they only identifie with the coca-cola one. i don't do many here. So i do norman rockwell instead, since it is easier anyway, no specific color, just him,; painted on glass.
Got im himmel! i could get this little Hamburg girl to translate it for me, she is now on this site as Red October, i suppose she got on by saying she was 18, i think she is like 16, but most everything i do is adult, i don't encourage her. She draws non furry, sort of like she started as a lurker. why did i bring it up, SHE can translate is why!
Bitte schon, sometimes i mix up my english by changing the sentence structure, reverse the sentence back to active, i use a lot of passive sentences, because they are subtle in effect.

That should not be an affront! It's just because you don't use normal grammer and punctuation marks. I fear that most of the time, when you comment something, I can hardly catch the sense, let alone the exact statement...I am not a born English speacker. It is my fault if I do not understand everything, but you do not make it easier for me with that four lines phrases.
In short words, ours is the more original one.
But I have to object in the "punishing" part: Many parents misuse Christkind, Saint Nick and the Crampus as scarecrows for the children to behave: "You won't get a present from the Christkind if you don't behave." or "If you are naughty, Saint Nick will come and the Crampus will put you into his sack and take you away."
This is not what Lord Christ and Saint Nick are meaning: Saint Nicolas of Myra was a kind man and as bishop very engaged in social help of the poor and children. Threatening children with punishment by Saint Nick or no presents from the Christkind would only spoil their view on their patron saint and would be blasphemy by misusing the name of God (i.e. religion).
