Christmas day is coming up. We can enjoy our happiest time of the year. Santa Claus will undoubtedly be the most crowded and famous. We all think we already know enough about him. Does Santa Claus have other secrets? Definitely yes!
1, where can you find it?
Where is Santa Claus? What we know is that he is at the North Pole. Some people even said that Santa Claus is from Rovaniemi, Finland. Is that really true? If his son was very curious about Santa Claus and wanted to find Santa Claus, how would he answer her? I’m afraid the answer will depend on the age of the child.
Each year, before Christmas Day, there will be well-furnished caves for Santa in large shopping malls, gardens and community centers. For children 2-3 years old, their parents will tell them that they are taking them to see Santa Claus. Parents take children to the grotto and spend a few pounds to have their photo taken with Santa Claus and take home a small gift. For those who are 5-6 or even 7-8 years old, they may know that the Santa Claus in the mall is not true. If they insist on going to find the real one, parents may have no idea what to do. For those older children, parents must be ready to tell them the truth.
2, What is his email address?
Each year, the children will write you a letter and tell you what their favorite gift they want. Traditionally, children only need to write this address “Santa Claus, North Pole” and then throw the letter into the bottom of the chimney. The wind will send the letter to Santa.
But now, British children can send the letters to the following address:
Santa Claus/Father Christmas,
holy grotto,
reindeer Land,
SAINT TA1
Let me tell you a little secret: this is a special letterbox from the British Royal Post. Every year, everyone received about 750,000 letters from children, and said that all letters will be sent to Santa Claus, and all children can receive a reply.
In recent years, lazy children can also send you emails! The problem is that your email address is constantly changing (the Internet at the North Pole may not be well developed). Before sending it, you need to google the email address.
Although I am no longer a little boy, I also hope that I can receive a gift from him. If my dream came true, I’d rather Santa send me a backpack that I’ve been wanting for a long time.
3, What is the true identity of him?
Saint Nicholas is said to be the prototype of Santa Claus. According to legend, there was a poor old man who feared that if he could not pay the dowry, no one would want to marry his three daughters. Saint Nicholas was informed of his problems, hoping to help them. On Christmas Eve, the three daughters hung the stockings by the fireplace. Nicholas tossed coins into the socks through the chimney.
After the news spread, people began to hang socks hoping to receive the gift of the saints. Later, the task of delivering the presents falls to today’s Santa Claus or Father Christmas. Now, before Christmas day, people will put their Christmas stockings in the fireplace. If you don’t have a fireplace, you can tape socks to the windows or hang them on the door. The goal is for them to notice them and don’t forget to leave them a gift.
4, How old is he?
Santa Claus is a legend and a symbol, so it’s hard to tell his age. If you want to count, then the prototype was Saint Nicholas, who was a good bishop who lived in the IV century. From the IV century to the present, 17 centuries have passed. Therefore, he is over 1,700 years old. But it may not be true. As for his exact age, we’re afraid only Mrs. Santa knows.
