A.According to legend, Santa Claus is a fat old man who visits every house
on our planet in about eight hours on one of the coldest nights of the year.
Santa, as everyone knows, stops for a glass of milk and a cookie at each
house along the route. He prefers to work unnoticed, so he wear a
luminous red suit and travels with a pack of bell-jangling reindeer. For
reasons that most people does not understand, this jolly old man enters
each house not by the front door but through the chimney (whether you
has a chimney or not). He
customarily gives generously to children in wealthy families, and he usually
reminds poorer children that it's the thought that counts. Santa Claus is one
of the earliest beliefs that parents tries to instill in their children. After this
absurdity, it's a wonder that any child ever believe in anything again.
