It's funny, but the likeness does not end there.
1. There is also the similarity between the attendants of the Devil, the imps, and Santa's helpers, the elves.
2. Santa and Satan both inhabit isolated regions, with inhospitable climates.
3. They only venture into our part of the world on occasions (Halloween and Christmas Eve), and at nighttime.
4. In some countries, especially Netherlands, Santa has an evil companion: Black Peter, who is said to be the devil in chains.
