Do You Like Santa Claus?

Hi! My dear friends! Do you like the Christmas Day? Do you like Santa Clause? Have you ever heard some stories about the Christmas Day and Santa Claus?

Christmas is a great holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. In fact, no one knows the exact date of Christ’s birth, but most Christians observe that he was born on December 25. On this day, for the adults, many of them will go to church, where they take part in special religious services. During the Christmas season, they also exchange gifts and decorate their homes with holly, mistletoe, and Christmas trees. The story of Christmas comes chiefly from the Gospels of Saint Luke and Saint Matthew in the New Testament. For the children, they also enjoy the Christmas Day a lot, as all of them are looking forward to receive the gifts from the Santa Claus.

On the night before Christmas, all across the world, millions of children will be tucked in their beds while visions of great dance in their heads. When they awake they will check their stockings to see if Santa Claus has come.

Santa Claus has become the most beloved of Christmas symbols and traditions. The image of the jolly old elf flying in a sleigh pulled by deer and leaving toys and gifts for every child is known throughout the world.

Just like the season of Christmas, the history of the origins of Santa Claus is influenced by the customs and cultures of many countries, beginning in Asia Minor sometime around the 4th century AD with Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra (an area now is called Turkey). One of the legends tells about that he acquired a fortune when his parents died while he was still in his teens. By nature St. Nicholas was a generous and honest man, particularly devoted to children. He also cared deeply for the poor. He brought various gifts, money and other useful items to the houses of the poor. He did this at night, and in secrecy, so that no one knew, as he wanted no glory, he just wanted to help people. He had helped so many children and the poor that soon became renowned for his exceptional generosity. Many years later he became known as Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of children.

As time went on, adults began to dress in the manner of Saint Nicholas, dressed in Bishops vestments and carrying a big bag on their shoulder to re-enact the kindness of the saint. They went from house to house, asking if the children who lived there had lived happily, and they would give these children a lot of gifts. In response to these visits, the children left their shoes outside the doors of their houses so that next morning they might find them filled with sweets and trinkets.

An Anglo-Saxon version eventually evolved and was known as Father Christmas. His character was a mixture of the Saint Nicholas and earthly perceptions of the gods Thor and Saturn. He wore robes decorated with ivy and holly and carried a switch to threaten unruly children, as well as a bag of toys to reward the children who had made excellent performance.

Christmas Day is on the way, sincerely hope you can enjoy this happy and terrific time, and receive the gifts (http://www.dinodirect.com/christmas-holiday/ ) from the Santa Claus!
