Let the Holiday Celebration Begin

In many countries, children leave gifts for Santa Claus. Santa Claus is a jolly, round bellied man who wears a red suit with white fur trim and has a long white beard. On Christmas Eve he rides in his sleigh lifted to the sky by his reindeer and flies from house to house delivering presents for good little boys and girls. For all Santa's hard work we leave him gifts such as milk, cookies or fruit. And, beside this, children leave small containers for Santa to fill for them with toys and candy. You may hang a stocking above the fireplace for Santa to fill. In Germany, children leave out shoes for Santa to fill.

In France, they celebrate Christmas with a visit from Père Noël (like Santa Claus). In other countries, Santa makes his trip from the North Pole with reindeers and someone named Knecht Riprecht, or Black Peter. In Spain, gifts are brought by the Magi at Epiphany on Jan. 6 and not on Dec. 25, while in the Netherlands, Christmas is more of a religious holiday and gifts are not exchanged at all.

As you look forward to celebrating Christmas this year, how about considering leaving Santa a special present, one you made all your own. For, regardless if you've been naughty or nice, a coloring book picture that you did on your own is sure to impress Old St. Nick.
