Interesting what meaning these words have in English.

That's quite specific, tbh. And both are very American in that they are defined around the bed too establish and stand off "sides". As if there is a right or wrong to children believing in a Santa Claus until a certain age, or grown ups believing into an adult variant if that. The morality comes from the actions taken under such a belief.
