Dun Che Lao RenI did not know Santa Claus is also called Dun Che Lao Ren in China until I saw the live-size Christmas Old Man in the "Spirits of Giving From Around the World" exhibit held at PPG Place. To quote the introduction:
China's Christmas Old Man, "Dun Che Lao Ren," comes during the Holy Birth Festival, "Sheng Dan Jieh." He fills the children's stockings with gifts from the wicker basket he carries.
