dc.description.abstractIn today’s Western cultures, iconic figures such as Santa Claus, the Three Wise Men and the Befana Witch play a magical role in children’s Christmas celebrations. These characters share standard features across various societies: they are widely celebrated, often through grand public events, and their ‘existence’ is made tangible through adultled performances. During the holiday season, individuals often dress up as these figures or their representatives to gather children’s gift wishes. Subsequently, families discreetly place the desired gifts in the home, creating the illusion that these magical beings have delivered them.-
