Santa Claus in Budapest at the Opera Garden Hotel & Apartments
The American version of the Santa Claus figure received its inspiration and its name from the Dutch legend of Sinter Klaas. Santa Claus as we know him is a combination of many different legends and mythical creatures. The basis for the Christian-era Santa Claus is Bishop Nicholas of Smyrna. He was very rich, generous, and loving toward children. Often he gave joy to poor children by throwing gifts in through their windows. Santa Claus, also known a Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas and simply "Santa", is a figure with legendary, mythical, historicaland folkloric origins who, in many westerncultures, brings gifts to the homes of the good children during the late evening and overnight hours of Christmas. Santa Claus is generally depicted as a portly, joyous, white-bearded man wearing a red coat with white collar and cuffs, white-cuffed red trousers, and black leather belt and boots.
Santa Claus is very popular in Budapest as well but we call him ”Mikulás”. In Hungary ;we celebrate this day on the 6th of December. Opera Garden Hotel & Apartments also commemorates this event on its individual way.
