At this time in history, Santa was limited to the number of places he can go to deliver toys. Although the reindeer can run faster than the wind there are children who live too far away. Santa and the Elves try every year to deliver more toys than last year. With secret bases around the earth, they can store toys, so Santa will not have to go back to the north pole to refill his toy bag. But, there are some who live too far away to go to on Christmas Eve. Sylvester, the fifth-generation wizard, is the one Santa often turns to help solve problems, however, he has no answer for this.

Turning to watch the animals he is suppressed when Pete said, “Here you are,” handing the paper to Sly. “Thanks,” Sly said. “I’ll get back to you later, and tell you what this is all about, but right now I have another stop to
Evidently, myths have become the culprit of traditions. That being said, the contemporary and ancient myths of Santa Claus and Krampus can only be understood by determining the elements that devise their entireties. Both narratives involve elements of opposition, trickery, mythemes, repetition, symbols, and ritualistic processes all of which support the structure of each holiday myth and tradition.

Most people know the story of Santa. While there are many different versions, the gist of it is the night before Christmas, while children are sleeping, a fat man slips down the chimney to distribute gifts to boys and girls that have been good all year. The story was meant to bring hope and joy to children. It was a tale of giving and of love. However, as time goes on characters change, sometimes for better, and sometimes they take a turn for the worst.
Santa Claus, simply Santa, is who brings gifts to good children on 25 December, Christmas day. He makes a list of children whole over the world and evaluates their behavior such as naughty or nice. Accordingly, the naughty children can’t get a gift and nice children can get a gift on Christmas day. Santa commonly depicted as white bearded man wearing red coat with a black leather belt and boots. On Christmas, he rides in a carriage pulled by Rudolph and reindeers and gives children gifts. He always smiles and loves children.
"IT'S CHRISTMAS MORNING!!!!" said Papa Mouse. Max was already up and waiting at the door to go out into the humans' house to see if he had gotten the scooter.

"Well, why don't you go and check under the tree, Son."

Kris Kringle and his wife, Martha, agreed to move to Elfland and live and work in the village with the Elves making the toys. In addition, they agreed that his official name would be Santa Claus.

But really when you are caught up in the magic, science and physics doesn’t even cross the mind, especially if you are a child.

One might ask, where did the tradition Santa Claus come from? The answer to this question unfortunately is not quite as straight forward. Somehow this tradition wove itself into the holiday season during the 4th century from Turkey, where a wealthy bishop, by the name of Nicholas habitually gave gifts to children. Following the death of Nicholas, he was honored as a saint, Sinter Nikolass, and a holiday was established in honor of him on December 6th. Dutch people in the Netherlands later shortened the saint's name to Sinter Klaas, which eventually evolved into Santa Claus in the US following Dutch i...

Although Santa has become the main staple of the Christmas season it is important to remember the true reason for the season. Jesus’ birth is what December 25 began as until Saint Nicholas day merged with it. Even though the character that has developed and encountered extremely drastic changes, he has almost always been a giving generous figure in society. “Santa is ‘an invention of the advertising industry’ and ‘a representative of consumer society,’ according to Bonifatiuswerk der deutschen Katholiken [Boniface of German Catholics], which seeks to restore St. Nicholas to his proper place in the Christmas season” (Sweas).
Dutch children would put shoes by the fireplace for St. Nicholas or "Sinter Klaas" and leave food out for his horse. He'd gallop on his horse between the rooftops and drop candy down the chimneys into the children's shoes. Meanwhile, his assistant, Black Peter, was the one who popped down the chimneys to leave gifts behind. Dutch settlers brought the legend of Sinter Klaas to North America -- where we came to know him as Santa Claus. Clement Clarke Moore first described the “jolly old elf” with his sleigh drawn by reindeer, in the poem "The Night Before Christmas.
