One is the traditional American Santa and Mrs Claus, the other the Russian Santa, Ded Moroz or Father Christmas or Father Frost and his granddaughter Snegurouchka or Snow Maiden. No child living here really questions the two. Russians celebrate orthodox Christmas Jan 7th, which may be another reason no one questions. To have them both in one place was a real treat for all!
