Over the weekend we decorated our Christmas tree and Daddy finished putting the lights on our trees in the front of the house. Many of our neighbors have also been decorating early so our street looks pretty festive already. With all of our decorations both inside and outside, we are officially ready for Christmas and the arrival of Santa Claus.
After doing a little more research I understand that Santa comes every year and gives presents to every boy and girl who have been good during the preceding year. All those who have not been good get coal (not the kind that has diamonds either). Because Santa has a bit of weight problem, all of his toys are made by little elves. These elves are not well paid and apparently have not figured out how to unionize. Santa is transported by a team of reindeer who seem to be treated better than the elves. They at least have names and a song. Can you name an elf?
Despite being less than fit, Santa rarely comes down with a cold or flu that prevents him from bringing his presents to all children around the world. Because he is on a tight schedule bringing presents around the world, it is important to leave him a few cookies and a glass of milk to give him the energy to get to the next house. However, there have been some occasions where Santa has been too sick to deliver presents. On those occasions he calls his friend, Hanukkah Harry, who delivers presents courtesy of his three donkeys – Moische, Herschel, and Schlomo.
I can’t wait for Santa to come to my house.
