Detail a story from another culture about Santa Claus or a similar Christmastime figure.
Santa Claus is often codified as a chubby, jolly figure in a red suit, but different cultures have their own versions and narratives. Write about the traditions, tales and societal roles of such figures – you may focus on Italy’s Befana, Spain’s Three Kings, or Russia’s Ded Moroz. This prompt inspires a thorough exploration into the characters that shape Christmas in different cultures and a reflection on how these variations impact the celebrations.
