father Christmas at work, but use all of the above at home, particularly as we used to also celebrate st. Nicholas day 6th dec , putting shoes outside the door and waiting to see if we got sticks (if naughty) or sweets (if good) next morning. (when children were at home)

Continental background coming out here.

also no decorations go up till Xmas eve in our house, and big family meal after decorating , we however wait till xmas day for presents, so a real mix of traditions
