[[File:Drunk Uncle Don.png|thumb|Drunk Uncle Don]]

The traditional giftbringer at the vernal equinox is Drunk Uncle Don, depicted as a fat, middle aged, redheaded drunk man clad in spring green and usually wearing garlands of hops, fresh tobacco leaves, and for some reason lemongrass and green onions. In the states of [[~~Meridia~~]] and [[Uruvun]], and among certain ethnic groups, he is depicted as carrying {{wp|leeks}} to smack children with, but in most other communities his traditional child-smacking implement is a bundle of {{wp|Equisetum fluviatile|swamp horsetail}} stems. Drunk Uncle Don smacks all children regardless of how they behaved during the previous year, and also gives them gifts regardless of how they behave. He is cast as a benign but morally neutral figure who doesn't really know what the heck he is doing most of the time.
