href="/wiki/Mythology" class="mw-redirect" title="Mythology">mythical</a> or <a href="/wiki/Folklore" title="Folklore">folkloric</a> gift-bringing figures who appear in winter, often at or around the <a href="/wiki/Christmas_and_holiday_season" title="Christmas and holiday season">Christmas period</a>, is complex, and in many countries the gift-bringer – and the gift-bringer's date of arrival – has changed over time as native customs have been influenced by those in other countries. While many though not all gift-bringers originated as religious figures, gift-bringing is often now a non-religious custom and secular figures exist in many countries that have little or no tradition of celebrating Christmas as a religious festival. Some figures are entirely local, and some have been deliberately and more recently invented. </p><p>The main originating strands – all of which have their roots in Europe – are </p> <ul><li>the overlapping winter-based and religious Old Man traditions (<a href="/wiki/Saint_Nicholas" title="Saint Nicholas">St Nicholas</a>, <a href="/wiki/Santa_Claus" title="Santa Claus">Santa Claus</a>, <a href="/wiki/Father_Christmas" title="Father Christmas">Father Christmas</a>, <a href="/wiki/Basil_of_Caesarea" title="Basil of Caesarea">St Basil</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ded_Moroz" title="Ded Moroz">Grandfather Frost</a>),</li> <li>the <a href="/wiki/Christ_Child" title="Christ Child">Christ Child</a> traditions promoted by <a href="/wiki/Martin_Luther" title="Martin Luther">Martin Luther</a><sup id="cite_ref-Flanders34_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Flanders34-1"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> (<a href="/wiki/Christkind" title="Christkind">Christkind</a>, Baby Jesus, Child God), and</li> <li>the <a href="/wiki/Biblical_Magi" title="Biblical Magi">Three Kings</a> traditions.</li></ul> <p>Not all gift-bringers were or are specifically focused on <a href="/wiki/Christmas_Eve" title="Christmas Eve">Christmas Eve</a> or <a href="/wiki/Christmas" title="Christmas">Christmas Day</a>: other common customs are 6 December (St Nicholas), 1 January, <a href="/wiki/New_Year" title="New Year">New Year</a> (St Basil, or secular), and 6 January, <a href="/wiki/Epiphany_(holiday)" title="Epiphany (holiday)">Epiphany</a> (Three Kings). </p><p>The international popularity of the figure of Santa Claus has transformed the older traditions of many countries.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBowler2000199_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBowler2000199-2"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="List_of_gift-bringers">List of gift-bringers</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_Christmas_and_winter_gift-bringers&amp;action=edit&amp;section=1" title="Edit section: List of gift-bringers"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Given the overlapping nature of gift-bringers throughout the world in name, attributes, date of arrival, and religious versus secular identity, this list may include winter gift-bringers that are not specifically associated with Christmas.
