DESCRIPTION
Santa Claus It is American tradition for children to be told that many of their presents are brought to them by Santa Claus. Santa flies around the world on Christmas Eve on his magic sleigh pulled by reindeer and delivers presents while the children are sleeping. Parents teach their kids to behave because Santa only gives gifts to the “nice” children, not the “naughty” ones.
