Samichlaus explained in English
Every year on December 6, kids in Switzerland better not be procrastinating because this is the traditional Santa Day. On this day, “Samichlaus” (as he is called in Swiss German) and his companion “Schmutzli” emerge from their cottage in the woods to visit children at their homes. They do not fly on a reindeer-pulled sleigh, either, but rather shuffle through the snow with a donkey. Read on and enjoy the video.
