"Christkind"

Hello!
In Austria the Christkind brings every child a present and not Santa Claus.
The Christkind is a golden-haired baby with wings, who symbolises the new born Christ. The story tells how the Christkind comes down from heaven on Christmas Eve and, with his band of angels, decorates and distributes trees.
The children wait until they hear a bell tinkling. Then they enter a special room where the Christmas tree is waiting all decorated with candles, ornaments and candies. Children never see the Christkind, as parents will always tell them that the Christkind just disappeared before they came.

Bye
