Page "Ded Moroz" Paragraph 37

Slovenian families have different preferences regarding their gift-giver of choice, according to political or religious persuasion.

Slovenian popular culture depicts Grandpa Frost, Saint Nicholas and Santa Claus as friends and has also started blending attributes of the characters, for example, mention of Santa's reindeer is sometimes mingled into the Grandpa Frost narrative at public appearances.

Due to his non-religious character and strong institutionalization, Grandpa Frost continues to retain a public presence.
