Beschreibung

Much of Switzerland celebrates the feast of St Nikolaus on December 6, a day when Santa Claus, or "Samichlaus" as he is known in Swiss German, brings sweets and nuts to children with the help of his assistant Schmutzli. Journalist Anne-Marie Michel talks to a number of Samichlaus enthusiasts in Zurich about the holiday and its traditions. An official Samichlaus comments on the character's change of image from that of a strict disciplinarian to a kind and gentle gift giver. Hans Ernst Weber of the St Nikolaus Association in Zurich [St Nikolausgesellschaft der Stadt Zürich, StNg] echoes these sentiments, discusses the organisation's work and rejects the idea of a female Samichlaus.
