Description

He s become a ubiquitous figure during the Christmas season with his white beard, red suit and prominent belly, but just how much do those celebrating the happy holiday really know about Santa Claus? Here is the whole story from the beginning from, the pre-Santas like Sinterklaas and Father Christmas to the modern version of St. Nicholas we all know and love.  This publication celebrates all things Santa ranging from the much loved poem “The Night Before Christmas” to the songs, movies, images and stories that are loved by both young and old. Along the way, we’ll explore the favorite stories that have sprung up around him, including Santa’s elves, his workshop, Santa’s beloved reindeer and the legend of Mrs. Claus. We even teach readers the secret to how Santa has time to visit every house around the world in one night (a mathematician explains how it’s physically possible).
