Christmas Santa Claus Decorations

We are all familiar with Santa Claus but I wonder how many of us can really distinguish between Santa Claus and Santa Klaus. For those who know and for those who don't, Santa Klaus or Julesnissen is in reality Nisse, the old gnome who according to the Norwegian legends was entrusted with the responsibility of distributing presents to the children during the cold wintry months, a task normally executed by his more christianized counterpart, Santa Claus aided by his band of reindeers with Rudolph heading the clan. When Christianity gained prominence in Norway, this very popular mythical figure underwent a dramatic metamorphosis and came to be designated as Santa Klaus.

The very concept of Santa Klaus as different from its other Europeanized counterparts has hit the markets and folks now specifically identify him with his Norwegian lineage and thus the Christmas Santa Klaus decorations are slightly offbeat from the traditional Santa Claus figurines and other related Santa goodies. If you want to grab the best and the authentic Christmas Santa Klaus decorations, arrange for a mini-vacation to Drobak in Norway which is a unique village by the sea that flaunts its home made Christmas decorations round the year in style. You are likely to deal in the best Santa Klaus items like Santa on sleighs, Santa snow globes and pyramids, Santa embossed paper rings, Santa gold and silver streamers that are their select specialties.

If your busy schedule during the festive season leaves you with no time to embark on a decoration shopping vacation, look up craft books that deal in Christmas Santa Klaus decorations and make some at home.
