Taebaek
Taebaek is the name of a mountain with the
meaning of "bright mountain", where Tangun (the
founder of the nation of Korean people) reigned the
country.

The

bright

mountain

symbolizes

sacredness of soul and Tangun's thought of "hongik

ingan" [humanitarian ideal]. There are numerous
sites known as Taebaek, but Mt. Paektu, which has
been typically known as the cradle of Korean people.
This mountain is the background for the naming of
the Taebaek poomsae. The line of poomsae is like a
Chinese letter, which symbolizes the bridge between
the Heaven and the earth.

Santas Milk &

Cookies
Why do we leave out cookies
and milk for Santa? They are
delicious, but that isnt the
only reason...
Santa has a lot of work to do
on Christmas. Cookies are
packed with sugars and carbs,
which both give the body
bursts of quick energy. And
milk is full of protein which
helps keep you full.
So milk and cookies are a
great meal for someone with
millions of presents to deliver!
But, unless you are magic,
dont try eating as many
cookies as Santa in one night!
You wont feel so good.
-Mr. Hurst
P.S. - Dont forget carrots for his reindeer!
