Small children believe that their gifts come from Santa Claus. Their par-
ents tell them that Santa lives in the North Pole and, on the night before
Christmas, he travels the world in a sled pulled by reindeer. He goes down the
chimneys of houses to leave gifts for children who have been good. Naturally,
children are the first to get out of bed on Christmas morning!
