    Today's question is easier, especially for my Canadian friends: What is Santa Claus' name in French?

    Good luck everyone!!!

    Thank you for the nice virtual treat. I helped myself to the Yule Log cake that The Parsec posted an LP live photo of :)

    I have a guess but my spelling would be terrible and I don't want to hog all the snacks :)
