Christmas is here, how good it is to be a Santa Claus yourself, it is delicious and beautiful, the price is affordable and cheap, the whole family sits together and enjoys it, how happy it is to spend Christmas 😁
The legend of Santa Claus appeared in Scandinavia thousands of years ago. In Norse mythology, the god of wisdom, art, poetry, Odin, the god of war, rides his eight-legged horse and rides on the ends of the earth in the cold winter, punishes evil and promotes good, and distributes gifts. At the same time, his son Thor, wearing a red shirt and using lightning as a weapon, fought a fierce battle with the ice and snow gods, finally defeating the cold. According to pagan legends, Santa Claus is a descendant of the god Odin. There are also legends that Santa Claus came from Saint Nicholas, so Santa Claus is also called St. Nicholas. Because most of these stories promote the spirit of Christ, their origins and storylines are mostly forgotten, but Santa Claus is always in the spiritual world of people. Every Christmas Day, Santa Claus rides on the constellation of Aries, and the saint boy descends to the world holding a Christmas tree. With the changes of the world, writers and artists begin to describe Santa Claus as the familiar image of Santa Claus with a red dress and a white beard that we are familiar with today. At the same time, different countries and cultures have different interpretations of Santa Claus. In Germany, legend has it that he dressed as a holy boy and put nuts and apples in children's shoes. He roamed around in a two-wheeled carriage to observe people's behavior, especially children. If they perform well, they will receive many prizes such as apples, nuts, and sugar. Bad children get a whip. Parents have adopted this legend to encourage children to be obedient. It has greatly exceeded the New Year and has become a national holiday. "
