Figure 1.-- Tis Christmas image looks rather European to us. Santa or Father Christmas commonly have a different look than in America. You would not see an America Santa with stars and puff balls on his suit. And notice how the posters in the background do not look very Christmassy. The boy' outfit, however, does look rather English and one of the posters says 'Woggles' which does sound English.

Of course, Christms as a Chritian event is a largely Western holiday, esecially celebrted throughout Europe. Almost all Chritian traditions, except for the lrely secular American traditions, are largely European traditions which hs spread to the Americs and other regions. We have found Christmas images from a few obviously European countries, but are unable to identify the specific country. Hopefully ourWuropean readers will help us figur out justwaht couny is involed/ Oftnwe can figureout th Larger countries, but the smaller counries are much more difficult unless there is text somewhere in the backgrons. Thanks to our substantial European readership, we are hopeful of eventually identifying many of these images.
