@GerardAraud Pardonnez une question linguistique à côte du sujet ici, mais l'expression "punching ball" c'est français standard? En anglais serait "punching bag".

You may know the basics, but I learned a lot writing this and you may as well. Who was St Nicholas and why is he the patron of children? Was Santa an anti-British figure? Who created his look? What about Father Christmas? And Santa's rival gift-givers?
