Santa Claus or Samichlaus the Swiss Santa - Which do you prefer?

Up until a few years ago I did not know that there was such a thing as a Swiss Santa named Samichlaus and he had a pal named Schmutzli and they would travel along with their donkey and visit the homes and schools of the children, to find out who had been naughty or nice. 

There were even tales that sometimes children would end up in Schmutzli's sack and out the door he would go with the sack over his shoulder. I do not have a lot of info on it but here is a website that will tell you more. Santa Claus and Samichlaus are quite different, it is an interesting tale.
