Santa make sure you open the gift when we leave.Santa: Come over here kids.Santa opened his arms wide and embraced the kids showing gratitude and appreciation."T h a n k y o u for visiting and keeping me company. I will surely send you whatever you wish for." He told them as they all picked up their belongings, ready to make an exit."Bye Santa!" The kids said mutually.

As soon as the kids left; Santa picked up the gift he received from them which he had placed on the coffee table. The box was beautifully adorned by red wrapping paper and adorable green, gold and white ribbons. Inside the box, he found a scroll held together by a small strand of Christmas lights. The letter inside read:"C h r i s t m a s is not just a time for excitement. This season brings along with it bliss, happiness, serenity and love. As the year approaches it's end, Christmas greets us all with laughter, warmth and blessings. There are no adequate words to describe the magical feeling this holy season brings. We wish this Christmas greets you with utmost cheer. May this season bring you all the love, happiness and laughter you desire. We're grateful for all the gifts you send us. We're grateful for all the things you do. You're someone who loves another and seeks to make everyone happy. While everyone waits for gifts, we take a pause and remember Santa Clause. The man dressed in all red and white fur spreading cheer all around. May your life be filled with good luck and prosperity! We take this chance to wish you a very Merry Christmas.

Don't Leave Everyone, We have more gifts for Santa!

"That's it kids... Shoo away now, I have a lot to do!" Mr. Claus said after narrating to the kids how important Christmas is. It's not that Santa didn't enjoy their company; it was only because there was so much to get done as it was Christmas Eve. Abhi: But Santa... "What is it now kids?" Santa asked after heaving out a sigh. Hridey: Well... You've told us all about Christmas and why it's celebrated. But we're still confused. "What's there to be confused about my child?" Santa asked. Linaya: Why do people have a tree in their homes and all those beautiful decorations? "Ah, I see. Gather around again kids and let me enlighten you all. Along with the story behind Christmas and why it's celebrated; all these decorations have a very important meaning behind them." Mr Claus said while he headed to sit on his couch near the fireplace. Renu: Really Santa?! Edna: Does that mean you'll be telling us another story? All the kids started screeching in exhilaration. They were all excited to hear more about their favourite season of the year. "But before I start telling you about all the important symbols; can anyone tell me if they know any important symbols?" Santa asked the kids to test their knowledge. Mariyam: Me! I know an important symbol! I know the Angel! Abhi: So do I! I know about the Star! Krishna: I know some symbols too Santa! I know about the candles, candy cane and the bells too. "Very good. But. There are many other very important symbols which you should know about." Mr. Claus told the kids with a warm smile on his face. Edna: I know the story behind why people believe in you Santa. Hridey: Santa can you tell us about the mistletoe? Renu: Calm down everyone! I know you're all excited and so am I. But will you let the man speak. "There are many important Christmas symbols. But what I'll be telling you about the wreath, star, angel, candles, bells, mistletoe, stocking, Christmas tree, candy cane and about myself." Santa explained to the kids while he sat back in his huge couch and relaxed. Linaya: What about the reindeer Santa? "Ah. Thank you for the reminder my child. I will also tell you about the lovely reindeers that help me throughout the night." He replied back in assuring the children he will tell them everything. " I will start with the wreath. Listen very carefully children." Santa told the kids.

Santa: A wreath is an assortment of flowers, leaves, fruits, twigs to form a ring. In keenness of Christ's birth, a candle is lit each Sunday before Christmas. The wreath is made from evergreens and symbolises strength because evergreens last even through the harshest winters. "What do you want to know about next?" Santa asked the children to keep them engaged while increasing their knowledge about the holy season. Mishti: Can you please tell us about the angels. Do angels really exist?

Santa: Yes, indeed. Angels do exist and they are around us everywhere keeping us safe. Angels play a big part during Christmas. As it is known that angel Gabriel revealed to Mary that she will give birth to Jesus, an angel visits Joseph in his dreams and an angel tells the shepherds about Jesus' birth. Often, people would place angels on the very top of their Christmas trees to symbolize the significance of the angels who appeared high above Bethlehem to joyfully announce Jesus' birth on the first Christmas. Hridey: Wow! That's so cool, we have angels around us. Krishna: What's next Santa?! "Patience, children. I will tell you everything you need to know about Christmas." Santa laughed. Linaya: But Santa, if an angel is placed on top of the tree, where is the star placed? Mariyam: I was thinking about that too. Are they both placed on top together? "People choose what they want on top of the tree. Either the star, or the angel." Santa explained.

Santa: As I mentioned to you in the story behind Christmas, the Star of Bethlehem which guided the Magi to where Jesus was when he was born. This is why the star is an important symbol for Chrismas. Renu: Tells us more about the symbols Santa. Edna: I want to know more about the candy cane. I love candy!

Santa: The candy cane looks like a shepherd's crook. The shepherd used his crook to keep the sheep from wandering away from the flock and getting lost or eaten by a wild animal. The Bible says, "The Lord is my shepherd." The candy cane should remind us that Jesus is our shepherd and he will keep us from wandering away and getting lost or hurt. The candy cane is mostly white with red stripes. White is a symbol of purity. The red stripe symbolizes Christ's sacrifice and the white background his purity. "Honouring our Saviour's sacrifice is very important during Christmas. Never forget that my children." Santa advised the kids. Krishna: We'll never forget that Santa. But, I wanted to know why bells are rung in the morning during Christmas.

Santa: Bells were rung to announce the birth of Jesus and now they are rung welcome Christmas with a "joyful noise" (Psalm 95:1;98:4) Mishti: My mum always lights candles during Christmas. She tells us to never let the candle blow out. Why does she do this Santa?

Santa: At Christmas, a large candle symbolizing the Lord used to be set up in the homes of the faithful on the eve of the Feast. It was placed in the centre of a laurel wreath and kept burning through the Holy Night, and was lit, thereafter, every night during the holy season. The candles illustrate the light that Jesus bought. Christmas is known as the "feast of light", as Jesus, the Light of the World, the Rising Dawn, the Light to be revealed to the Nations (Luke 2, 32), is born. "Does anyone know what sort of tree is used during Christmas?" He again enquired from the kids. Abhi: I know! It's a fir tree!

Santa: That's correct. The evergreen fir tree was used by Pagans for thousands of years to decorate their houses during winters. It is knows that these beautiful evergreen fir trees reminded them of the summer which was coming. In many countries, it was believed that these evergreen trees keep away witches, ghosts, evil spirits and illnesses. Today, the Christmas tree is traditionally decorated in secret with lights, tinsel, and ornaments by the mother and is lit and revealed on Christmas Eve with cookies, nuts, and gifts under its branches. "Who always hangs a few stockings in their home during Christmas?" Mr. Clause took off his round framed spectacles and placed them on the little coffee table by the side of this huge couch. All the kids put up their hands in unison causing the old man to smile. "And do you know why the stockings are hung in the house?"

Edna: For decorating?

Hridey: I'm sure there's another meaning behind it. Mariyam: I don't think anyone knows why Santa.

Santa: Very long ago, there lived a poor man and his three very beautiful daughters. He had no money to get his daughters married, and he was worried what would happen to them after his death. He thought they would become prostitutes. I (Saint Nicholas) was passing through when I heard the villagers talking about the girls. I (St. Nicholas) wanted to help, but I knew that the old man wouldn't accept charity. I then decided to help in secret. After dark, I threw three bags of gold through an open window, one landed in a stocking. When the girls and their father woke up the next morning they found the bags of gold and were, of course, overjoyed. The girls were able to get married and live happily ever after. Other versions of the story say that I (Saint Nicholas) threw the 3 bags of gold directly into the stockings which were hung by the fireplace to dry. This led to the custom of children hanging stockings or putting out shoes, eagerly awaiting gifts from me, Saint Nicholas. Renu: Santa, you've told us all about the Angel, star, stockings, wreath, candles, bells and candy cane. What's left? Krishna: I think, the mistletoe and about Santa himself! Linaya: Guys, you're forgetting the poor reindeers again. Mishti: Tell us about the mistletoe first, please. Save the best for last.

Santa: Very well. Mistletoe is a plant that grows on willow and apple trees. The tradition of hanging it in the house goes back to the times of the ancient Druids. It is supposed to possess mystical powers which bring good luck to the household and wards off evil spirits. It was also used as a sign of love and friendship in the Norse mythology and that's where the custom of kissing under mistletoe comes from. Linaya: And now the reindeers! Krishna: Calm down Linaya. He'll tell us.

Santa: My reindeers form an imaginary team of flying reindeers traditionally held to pull my sleigh of Santa Claus and help me deliver Christmas gifts. I have 9 reindeers whose names are: Dasher; Dancer; Prancer; Vixen; Comet; Cupid; Donder; and Blitzen. And I also have a very lovely red nosed reindeer known as Rudolph who leads the pack. Abhi: A red nose reindeer, that's pretty cool. Don't you think so guys? Edna: Yeah it is cool. Can we find out about Santa himself now? Renu: Finally! We're going to find out about Santa, from Santa himself! Mariyam: I never thought I'd see this day. Linaya: So the idea about coming to North Pole wasn't so bad after all. Hridey: Even though I wanted to go and explore the world, I must say; this is one of the best trips ever! Krishna: I think we should visit next year as well. Santa watched the kids emote their excitement in awe. Mishti: Okay everyone, will you let Santa talk now?

Santa: Obeying Jesus' words to "sell what you own and give the money to the poor," I, Nicholas used my whole inheritance to assist the needy, the sick, and the suffering. I dedicated my life to serving God and I was made Bishop of Myra while still a young man. I was known as Bishop Nicholas and I became known throughout the land for my generosity to those in need and my love for children. Santa Claus is generally depicted as a portly, joyous, white-bearded man sometimes with spectacles, wearing a red coat with white collar and cuffs, white-cuffed red trousers, and black leather belt and boots and who carries a bag full of gifts for children. "That's it children. These are some of the most important symbols of Christmas. Don't you ever forget." Santa instructed the kids. "We won't forget" The children said in harmony. "Hurry off home now kids. I still have a lot to do." Santa put his spectacles back on and got up. Krishna: No Santa wait. There's still more.
