No time? blue News summarizes for you
- The customs surrounding Christmas vary from country to country.
- In Iceland, for example, there are 13 Christmas trolls and no Santa Claus. 13 days before Christmas, they set off in search of good and naughty children. The naughty ones end up with the troll mother and are eaten.
- In Italy, the Befana, a flying witch, comes on the night of January 6th to 7th and puts presents in the socks of the good children and a piece of coal for the naughty ones.
Most children believe in the Christ Child and Santa Claus. But how long does this lie, or magic, last? At what age did you learn that the presents didn't come from them?
blue News wants to know from passers-by in Zurich what their experience was when they found out.
