Yule Goat / Yule Elder / Yule Elf vs Baby Jesus

[Komintasavalta]

This is insane: in some Central European countries and Catholic Eastern European countries, Christmas presents are given to kids by baby Jesus and not by Yule Goat. Yule Goat (Joulupukki in Finnish) lives in Finland, so he only has time to personally visit kids in Nordic countries and Estonia. In Estonia he is known as Yule Elder (Jõuluvana), and in Sweden he is known as Yule Elf (Jultomten).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_Eve#Gift_giving:

In the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia and Hungary, where Saint Nicholas (sv. Mikuláš/szent Mikulás) gives his sweet gifts on 6 December, the Christmas gift-giver is the Child Jesus (Ježíšek in Czech, Jézuska in Hungarian, Ježiško in Slovak and Isusek in Croatian).[30]

In most parts of Austria, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Switzerland, presents are traditionally exchanged on the evening of 24 December. Children are commonly told that presents were brought either by the Christkind (German for Christ child),[31] or by the Weihnachtsmann. Both leave the gifts, but are in most families not seen doing so. In Germany, the gifts are also brought on 6 December by "the Nikolaus" with his helper Knecht Ruprecht.

In Estonia Jõuluvana, Finland Joulupukki, Denmark Julemanden, Norway Julenissen and Sweden Jultomten, personally meets children and gives presents in the evening of Christmas Eve.[32][33]

Yule Goat / Santa Claus is unallied.

Julenissen (in Norway) is a mix of that old elf (fjøsnissen)who lived on the farm and the St.Nikolas figure that gives presents. He does the job well.

Btw... in Spain it is the three kings who deliver presents. 6th of January, on three kings day. (13th day of Christmas)
