1:54 In Italy is a bit more complex than that: Historically in most of Italy it was also "Baby Jesus" that bringed gifts, except for a couple of regions where it was either Saint Nicholas or Saint Lucy. Now "Babbo Natale" (literally Father Christmas) has replace most of them in popularity, but in some places the older traditions survive. Then there is also the "Befana" (literally a witch/hag, with broomstick and everything) that brings some more, smaller gifts (usually candies) to good children and coal to bad ones on Epiphany day. All of them are someway or another considered "little" helpers of Baby Jesus.

That "who brings presents" map isn't exactly accurate. St. Nicolas brings presents in Poland BUT on the 6th of December. Meanwhile during Christmas it totally depends on region (thank partitions lol). It can be: - Baby Jesus - Little Angel - Little Star (Gwiazdka) - Starman (Gwiazdor) - Grandpa Frost (Dziadek Mróz)

9:00 the Dutch do, or at least used to, do something quite epic. Women carry both names actually! So for examples, my great-great-grandmother is called "Maartje van der Eijk-van der Kooij" on her gravestone. Maartje van der Kooij married Jacob van der Eijk, so after they married, she began carrying the name Maartje van der Eijk-van der Kooij literally into her grave. (You can be happy she was a Protestant and thus only had one first name.... ;)) In everday speech, women could choose but if they had to be short, tended to just put down/say their own name for clarity. (To make clear the person pre-marriage is the same as the person post-marriage signing official documents. Or the person you're speaking to is still that classmate from 20 years ago.) Nowadays, with the Netherlands being less traditional, most people have stopped doing it. I know my grandmother still picks up the phone as "Mrs. Wisse" instead of "Mrs Zoutewelle" using my grandfather's name. I think it has to do with the fact my grandparents are the only couple in the family who officially married and my parents and uncles/aunts never did.... Also, I have no clue why the Belgians and the Dutch have different customs! That may have to do with protestantism vs catholicism... Edit; ok, so you talked about it. But still, I love seeing these insanely long Dutch family names in newspapers or stuff.
