Yeah, isn't it... Like I said, there are nicer ones, too, but the number of depressing ones baffles me.
We have Santa Claus, basically. There's an older character from our folklore that used to be a fairly different but has basically combined with the more international Santa Claus in the recent times. His Finnish name still comes from the old folklore - Joulupukki, which happens to mean Yule Goat. :-)
