Doesn't Babushka just mean grandmother?
It does, and there is a Russian Christmas tradition for children around that:
"In Russia, it is believed that an elderly woman named Babouschka purposely gave the wise men wrong directions to Bethlehem so that they couldn't find Jesus. Later, she felt remorseful, but could not find the men to undo the damage. To this day, on January 5, Babouschka visits Russian children leaving gifts at their bedsides in the hope that one of them is the baby Jesus and she will be forgiven."
That is truly a pile of unbelievable cr@p.
This is what happens when you believe everything you read on internet....
