Santa Claus is someone who will remain in the hearts of children forever. He is the make-believe person who brings toys and other gifts to children at Christmas.

To grown-ups, he is a special symbol of goodwill and selfless giving.

Santa Claus also has some other names: Saint Nicholas, St. Nick, Kris Kringle, Pelznickel.

Two of his names -- Santa Claus and Saint Nicholas -- both come from the Dutch who settled in New York long ago.

The Dutch believed Saint Nikolas gave gifts to children. They honored this kindly saint with a yearly festival on December sixth.

The English-speaking people who lived nearby greatly enjoyed Dutch festivals. And they brought the saint and the custom of giving gifts into their own celebration at Christmas time.

The Dutch spoke the name "Saint Nikolaas" very fast. It sounded like "sinterklaas." And so, when the English said this word, it sounded like Santa Claus.

West of New York, in Pennsylvania, many German farmers had also heard of Saint Nikolas.

But they called him Pelznickel. This word came from "pelz," meaning fur, and "nickel" for Nicholas. And so, to the Germans of Pennsylvania,

Saint Nicholas or Pelznickel was a man dressed in fur who came once a year with gifts for good children.

Soon, people began to feel that the love and kindness Pelznickel brought should be part of a celebration honoring the Christkindl,

as the Germans called the Christ child. After a time, this became Kris Kringle. Later, Kris Kringle became another name for Santa Claus himself.

Whatever he is called, he is still the same short, fat, jolly old man with a long beard, wearing a red suit with white fur.

The picture of Santa Claus as we see him came from Thomas Nast. He was an American painter born in Bavaria.

He painted pictures for Christmas poems. Someone asked him to paint a picture of Santa Claus.
ËûΪʥµ®Ê«¸½»­£¬ÓÐÈËÇëËû»­Ê¥µ®ÀÏÈ˵Äͼ»­¡£
Nast remembered when he was a little boy in southern Germany. Every Christmas, a fat old man gave toys and cakes to the children.

So, when Nast painted the picture, his Santa Claus looked like the kindly old man of his childhood.

And through the years, Nast's painting has remained as the most popular picture of Santa Claus.

Santa can be seen almost everywhere in large American cities during the Christmas season.

Some stand on street corners asking for money to buy food and gifts for the needy. Others are found in stores and shopping centers.

Christmas in my heart
Every time we say goodbye
There is something breaking deep inside
I tried to hide my feelings to keep myself controlled
But somehow I can't deny what's deep inside my soul
I've been always on the run
So many different places, having fun
But like a river always knows just where to flow
Now that December comes I feel like coming home
It's Christmas in my heart
When I'm with you
No matter where we are or what we do
Tomorrow may be grey
We may be torn apart
But if you stay tonight
It's Christmas in my heart
I don't know how to stay alive
Without your touch without you by my side
Just like the desert's always waiting for the rain
Oh baby, I wish the holy night would come again
It's Christmas in my heart
When I'm with you
No matter where we are or what we do
Tomorrow may be grey
We may be torn apart
But if you stay tonight
It's Christmas in my heart
Everywhere I go and everyone I know
Is making lots of wishes for old Santa Claus
But all I really need tonight
Is for you to come and hold me tight
What is Christmas without you here by my side
I need you tonight
It's Christmas in my heart
When I'm with you
No matter where we are or what we do
Tomorrow may be grey
We may be torn apart
But if you stay tonight
It's Christmas in my heart
It's Christmas in my heart

2015 is coming, my friends and everyone I concerned, may happiness follow you wherever you go!
Now, please write down your words to your  families,friends and other people
Best wishes to all of you
