 * Dear Michael,
 * I am sorry I haven't come back to you earlier. As for the change I made, it's common knowledge that in Spain the main Christmas gift-bringers are The Three Kings on Epiphany day (6 January).  Papá Noel (not Santa Klaus or Father Christma) was only introduced in the second half of the 20th Century and has never been as important as The Three Wise Men, only secondary to them. In some regions, namely the Basque Country, the Basque nationalists introduced a folk figure (Olentzero) in the 1970's. That's it.  I am a Basque Spanish screenwriter living in London, by the way.
 * Following the discussion, the map is wrong too. I am genuinely surprised Wikipedia can make such a big mistake.  As I said, The Three Kings being the main gift bringers in Christmas in Spain is so well known that I can't understand where does the problem lie for correcting that wrong information.
 * I am attaching the first article I am seeing on the internet: there are millions.

 * Best wishes,
