Chile celebrates the holiday season in many of the same ways as other Spanish speaking countries: big Christmas Eve feast, Mass of the Rooster, the importance of family. A difference is the name for the guy who brings presents. They call him Viejo Pascuero (aka Old Man Christmas). He looks just like Santa and even has a reindeer as transportation, but the lack of fireplaces in Chile force him to go in and out through windows instead.
