That's right, it's getting to be that time of year again. Snow is glistening, jingle bells are ringing, and Santa Clauses from all over the world are meeting up just before Christmas. Three different Santas Claus', Joulupukki from Finland, Saint Nicolas from Germany and Russia's Father Frost came together for a trilateral meeting in Russia's Yekaterinburg on Tuesday, perhaps to try to solve the ever huge logistical problem of delivering all those toys. The santas discussed how to boost cultural ties with each other while visiting an orphanage to play games with the children. The meeting, organised by the German consulate in Yekaterinburg, coincided with Joulupukki's annual tour around the world made since 1983. The Finnish santa will go on to visit two more Russian cities, Chelyabinsk and Moscow.
