In Australia, children leave Santa a
bottle of beer and a bowl of pretzels. |

In Switzerland, Santa travels around
the country by train and fixes people's
watches. |

reindeer is considered a great delicacy. |
|
In France, Santa Claus has a
mistress, works late and leaves the task
of buying, wrapping and sending presents
to the stoic Mrs. Claus. |
|

old, has the head of a crocodile and eats
children who have been bad. |
|
