A believer of Santa Claus has sponsored his version of the G8 summit for Father Christmas to be held in St. Petersburg, Russia, ananova.com reports.

Lev Levinson, organizer of Xmas G8 said eight different versions of Santa Claus from around the world will meet in Russia for the Christmas special.

Britain's Father Christmas is to meet his counterparts from across the globe such as Russia's Ded Moroz, or Father Frost, Finland's Yelloupokki, France's Perre Noel, and the German Weihnachtsmann.

Levinson said, "The international Santas will promote world peace by showing Russian children that while each country is so different, deep down it is also very similar.

"We had the G8 here in St. Petersburg already but this Christmas version will mean a lot more to most people."

He said the meeting will be held on December 31 as the Santas are too busy in their respective countries on Christmas day, the report said.
