Chyskhaan (Companions of Christmas)
$10.00
One of the SchweizerCraft "Companions of Christmas" series (#F 10)
One of two traditional giftgivers of the Yakut of Siberia, Chyskhaan lives north of Oymyakon, the coldest town in the world. Since time began, people bring him gifts on the longest night of the year as a tribute, in the hopes that he will mitigate the cold and allow warmth and daylight to return to Siberia (though slowly and evenly, that the villages might not be flooded from the snow melt).
He spends the week of Christmas going through the offerings and taking what he will need for the year, and then, on New Year’s, he distributes the remaining majority of gifts to children and those in need who, regardless of their station, are treated by Chyskhaan with the dignity and ceremony as would befit a king or queen.
