According to the legend Santa Claus brings presents after midnight. In Switzerland it is a fairy who brings the presents during dinner and then rings a little bell attached to the Christmas tree. In Argentina in contrast Santa Claus runs the risk of being set on fire through firework displays. The reason being that in Argentina, people instead of going to bed after having a rich dinner, stay awake until midnight to toast to each other with fizzy drinks. Drinks are then followed by fireworks and opening of the presents. And at the very end everyone crams into a car and drives around in order to visit friends and family. So Santa Claus needs to be a careful pilot over Argentina!
