The Russian Santa, or Ded Moroz as he is called in Russia, is also fondly known as Grandfather Frost. This Santa Claus looks like a traditional Father Frost from Russia with valenki
boots and a long coat of red or possibly blue or tan and lined with fur. The hat that he wears is usually round in shape and trimmed with fur. It is not like the pointed hat of the American
Santa Claus. The Russian Santa is transported by a troika with three horses and is not pulled by reindeer. He delivers gifts on New Year's Eve instead of the traditional Christmas Eve.
Christmas in Russia is January 7th and is preceded by New Year's Eve on the 1st. The Russians celebrate Christmas and New Years twice, as the religious holiday was again reinstituted
after the fall of the Soviet regime. There are family gatherings with plentiful amounts of food and drink for the holidays. Many Russians also celebrate at the Russian Orthodox churches.

Three merry Russian Santas! Each wooden Father Frost figure is
so different from the other. The hand carvings are created by the
master carver who thens lets the Russian artist design the hand
painted scenes to be depicted on the cloak. Most of the Russian
Santas have painted scenes on only one side of the cloak. The
circular paintings are much more difficult to paint.

This all natural linden wood Russian Santa must be carefully planned prior to the carving of the
wood. The piece of wood chosen must be entirely free of any knots or imperfections in order to
create the intricate cuts on the cloak and other areas of the Father Frost figure. The master
carver spends hours using special carving tools to make these cuts. The artist lightly paints the
facial features to create the very realistic look on the face.
