Creative Writing 801

We love Christmas, because it is a wonderful time.
The twelve days of Christmas are the days that separate Christmas Day,
December 25, from Epiphany, January 6.
In the past there was a tradition of giving gifts throughout the twelve days instead of giving them all on the morning of December 25.
We aren’t that patient any more!
At Christmas, people give each other presents. This tradition seems to have started with the gifts the Wise Men brought to Jesus: gifts of gold, incense and myrrh. Later the habit of exchanging gifts began.
Curiosities
What do Santa Claus and Coca Cola have in common?
In 1931, Haddon Sundblom was the artist who made Santa Claus look like the person he is today: a jovial face with a big white beard. It was created for an ad campaign for the Coca Cola Company!
What are the names of the reindeer?
Here they are: Blitzen, Comet, Cupid, Dancer, Dasher, Donder, Prancer,Vixen, and of course the leader is Rudolf, the Red-Nosed Reindeer because he’s the only one that can see through the fog according to the song!
We love Christmas, because it’s nice, cool, with lots of spirits and it is just around the corner.
We like Christmas, because we are with our family. We give and receive gifts, we decorate the Xmas tree and some may kiss under the mistletoe.
