The Three Santas of Slovenia
Slovenian children are visited by three different Santas: Bozicek (Slovenian Santa Claus), Mick Klausch (Catholic Saint Nicholas), and Dedek Maras (the Slovenian Santa brought back from the Soviet Union). These three Santas each have their own distinct role and appearance, and they represent different cultural and historical periods in Slovenia. Despite the presence of commercialized Santa Claus, Slovenian families still value and celebrate the traditional Slovenian Santas. Each Santa has their own designated time during the holiday season, and Slovenians embrace all three to create a month-long celebration called Mary December.
