List of Gods : "Claus" - 4 records

Name ▲▼	Origin ▲▼	Description ▲▼
"Abonde"	French	The French Santa Claus, the good fairy who comes at night to bring toys to children while they sleep, especially on New Year's Day.
God name "Hogfather"	Europian	The Discworld's version of Father Christmas or Santa Claus. He wears a red, fur-lined cloak, and rides a sleigh pulled by four wild boars, Gouger, Rooter, Tusker and Snouter. In earlier times he gave households pork products, and naughty children a bag of bloody bones. Earlier than that, he was a Winter god of the death-and-renewal kind. The modern version is a jolly toymaker, with vestiges of the earlier myths (such as his Castle of Bones, a vast palace of ice which has nothing notably bony about it, except for the suggestion of a protruding femur or scapula here and there) still clinging to him.
"Kaswa"	s	Mahomet's favourite camel, which fell on its knees in adoration when the prophet delivered the last clause of the Koran to the åśśembled multitude at Mecca. This is one of the dumb creatures admitted into the Moslem Paradise.
"Virginia"	Roman	Yes Virginia, there really is a Santa Clause.
