This is interesting. The Laughing Buddha is a familiar figure to all, just like Santa.

Interesting, I would never think about finding any "similarity" among our cultures.

As a Christian I do not believe in luck
or superstitions, but I did as a child believe in Santa. until I was told he came down the chimney, how stupid do people think an eight year old is.
I am told to make sure there is A good fire No central heating in them days. I had spent the whole of that day chopping oak logs. My face gets hot just putting a log on the fire. in the late evening of the 24th Christmas eve The fire is banked up with cokes and coal. so if that fat old bugger wth a sack on his back is not wearing a flame proof suit he is going to get his arse singed unless he comes down head first then he is going to get a singed beard,
then there was the question of ho the hell did he keep so clean clambering down thousands of chimneys I knew our chimney is not swept in the winter so would be sooted up.
then we got a new cooking range that had a 6" flue pipe, how the hell is he going to get down that never mind climbing back up unless Rudolf the red nosed reindeer had a winch on the sleigh. to haul him up. so I am sorry to shatter your dreams but Santa is a myth and a very expensive one at that
