Nikolaus

Nikolaus, is the German counterpart to Santa Claus (and in fact, formed the basis for the Westernized Santa). Sinterklaas arrives in the Germany in the beginning of December, and celebrates his birthday on December 5th by giving presents to all children. Nikolaus' traditional attire, while still emphasizing the white beard and red colors, more closely resembles a clergyman, tying into his "Saint" title and roots in the Catholic tradition.

Nikolaus has never figured in any Sesamstrasse productions. Mainl;y because he is often accompanied by Devil like creatures that are called Krampus. In germany he is also accompanied by an Angel. On the album Weihnachts-Geschichten, Grover helps him.
