Christmas is an periodic jubilee commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed primarily on December 25 as a religious and artistic festivity. Traditionally, it's a Christian vacation, but in the early 20th century, it also came a temporal family vacation, celebrated by both Christians andnon-Christians around the world.

 

Legend has it that every night on December 24, a mysterious person will fly in the sky on a sleigh pulled by 9 reindeer, enter the house from the flue from door to door, and also intimately put gifts in the socks on the bedside of the child, or hide under the Christmas tree by the fireplace. During the rest of the time, he was busy making gifts and supervising children's geste.

 

Although no bone has ever seen a mysterious person, people will pretend to be him to give gifts to children. He's generally described as an old man with a red chapeau, a big white beard, a red cotton-padded fleece, black thrills, and a big bag with gifts. Because he always presents gifts on Christmas Eve, so It's customary to call him"Santa Claus".

 

Every Christmas, Santa Claus rides on a reindeer, and the saint boy descends on the world holding the Christmas tree. With the changes of the world, pens and artists begin to describe Santa Claus as the familiar image of Santa Claus with a red dress and a white beard. At the same time, different countries and societies have different interpretations of Santa Claus. In numerous countries, on Christmas Eve, children will prepare empty holders so that Santa Claus can put some small gifts similar as toys, delicacies or fruits. In the United States, children hang Christmas socks on the fireplace on Christmas Eve, because Santa Claus said that he'd go down the flue and put gifts into the socks on Christmas Eve. They will put a many gingernut eyefuls on the table near the fireplace, and it's said that Santa Claus will also eat these eyefuls when transferring gifts. In other countries, children put empty shoes outside so that Santa Claus can give gifts on Christmas Eve.
