Regarding how the tradition lives on in the Finnish version of Santa Claus:

> The Finnish Santa Claus has also been greatly influenced by his American colleague. However, the Finnish Santa Claus visits children in person and gives them presents, whereas the American Santa Claus can only be seen in department stores. These personal visits to children’s homes are the most Finnish aspect of our Santa Claus, and it comes from the St Knut Day’s nuuttipukkis. https://wiki.aineetonkulttuuriperinto.fi/wiki/Santa_Claus_tr...
