Kriss Kringle
Reindeer sleigh driver
Kriss Kringle is another name for Santa Claus, the legendary figure who delivers presents to children on Christmas Eve.
The term comes from German Christkindl, meaning "Christ child," though it has become associated with the jolly, red-suited gift-giver rather than the infant Jesus.
In some regions, particularly parts of the United States, a Kriss Kringle gift exchange is a form of Secret Santa where participants draw names and give anonymous presents.
