Was the part of the Winchester that he got smacked with made of mostly iron? I know nothing about guns...

I don't have my copy handy, so I don't remember if Kringle got smacked with the stock or the barrel. (The stock would be wood, the barrel steel--and the stock may or may not have a steel butt-plate on it as well, depending upon the model.)

He never actually gets hit with the gun, Harry uses it to block he sword and when he is on top of him holds it like a club, but he doesn't hit him with it. [Cold Days, 404]

Ahah! So the question of whether or not Kringle suffers from contact with Bane is still unanswered.
Thanks for the quote and clarification. :)

I just want to ask his, but is Kringle a mantle, like the Knight of Winter/Summer, or is it just a mask for Odin when he feels like it?
I mean it makes some sense for Kringle to be Odin's invention, Odin was the "father" of the Norse Gods IIRC and they were a very cold group, and I think I can recall stories that Odin rewarded those who were good and punished the wicked (naughty) so there could be some room there for dumbing down the idea for children and to make it seem nicer, but there are some old stories that say Father Christmas wasn't associated with either gift giving or children until recently (we're talking hundred or more years), so that could mean the mask/persona that Odin made has been reinterpreted by people and co-opted into the christmas mythos.
But again I'm not really clear on the distinction between the mantle of Kringle as a idea vs the idea that Odin was just wearing an illusion (probably a very good one if he could do it around fae and have them at least play along with it) hat he created sometime in the past for some reason.
