Mykolai has already brought gifts. But who will bring gifts on Christmas? Does Santa Claus stand a chance?

St. Nicholas visited us quite recently. He placed gifts under the pillows of all the well-behaved children. This tradition has become commonplace in Ukraine in recent years. But who will place gifts under the Christmas tree?  Santa Claus? Will St. Nicholas come again? For the second time? Or someone else? Who exactly? And who will give gifts on New Year's Eve? Who will be this magician? After all, the position of Grandfather Frost is vacant today.
