The Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, the Boogeyman, and Santa Claus, what do all of these have in common? For me, it is the innocence of a child. Children seem to be more gullible and believe anything you tell them; they do not know the difference between a lie and the truth. During the Christmas of 2003, I was five years old and still believed in Santa Claus. The fact of believing in Santa Claus expresses the innocence of a child and brings the magic to Christmas.
This leads into the most important difference between the book and the movie. In the movie it depicts that going to the North Pole to see Santa was all a dream, while in the book it made it all seem real. When children go see this movie, they might think that since the boy is having a dream that Santa must not be real. A lot of research has been done about kids believing in Santa. Gail Vines wrote about “the Santa delusion” from psychologist’s perspectives. According to Gail Vines (2007), children are able to
So you don’t believe in Santa Claus. It’s understandable. We find ourselves in an age of pure skepticism. We question everything. Science has taken hold of our lives, providing answers for all questions and dismissing anything that cannot be explained as either myth or fiction. So it’s quite understandable why you don’t believe, with no physical proof of his existence. It’s indeed understandable to lose sight of Father Christmas with the transformation of this holiday into one that, as of late, is used commercially as a lucrative crutch solely to make profit. It’s understandable to abandon Santa Claus after hearing countless people deny his very physical or even spiritual existence. After all, one tends to
A good and fun amusement park to go to is the Comden Park. It opened in 1903. It has water slides, roller coasters and rides.

After living with Santa for years and years, he was no longer a human, but one of Santa's many elfs...and the tallest one at that.
On the twelve day of Christmas the big news came to me about Santa the one who puts stuff under the tree. Santa is Santa no matter who is behind the big red and white suit. Why does it matter who is under the suit either they are black, white or have a disability change is yet to come. Everyone sees Santa as a jolly man in red played as a Caucasian actor. The Change has happen when the Mall of America introduced its newly trading of a black Santa. Larry Jefferson known as the “African American Santa” was the only Santa of color at the Santa gathering of 1,000 Santa’s. On Jefferson’s first day a child that sat on his lap asked an amazing question with a remarkable answers that brings diversity and democracy as a whole to understand and get use
Fraser (2015) found the the individual whose story inspired the myth Santa, also known as Saint Nicholas, originates from a bishop living in Turkey in the third century. Nikoloas of Mrya refused to worship the then Roman Emperor Diocletian, and was imprisoned until Emperor Constantine freed the Christians five years later. He went on to show kindness and compassion by anonymously giving gifts to others without expecting anything in return. One such example occured when he placed gold coins in the stockings left out to
In this photo, you can the Cheakamus canyon. On the floor of this canyon is the Cheakamus River. This river is in a state of youth due to its fast and violent water flow. The Cheakamus River is a tributary that flows into the Squamish River, which then flows into the Howe Sound. Before the water from the Cheakamus River flows into the Squamish River, the river meanders through the Cheakamus canyon. With this river meandering through the canyon as well as being in a state of youth, this area is prone to floods.
She informed us about the Teton Dam was beginning to wash away. We were shocked. This would change our lives because the water here is how we were able to take baths and shower and even drink so… if the water fully dissipated we wouldn't have the most essential necessity in life. The water began cascading down the Teton canyon. “All people who live in the lowlands east, north and west of Rexburg should go to high ground and stay there.” said a reporter on the radio. The water was expected to be four to six feet deep. We had to be sparing with our water. We saved off as much cold water as we could, and we flushed our toilets on rare occasions. As we assumed our water supply would soon be polluted or even worse, gone. Everyone kept to themselves but we could tell the morale was low, but people stayed calm. We could hear the water as it hit things in the streets. It was hitting buildings. CRASH. You could hear the crunching sounds of buildings and homes crashing to pieces. The flood was bringing along with it, dead animals, exploding gas tanks, farming equipment, and all kind of debris. Suddenly there was a wild explosion in the northwestern part of town. The streets were now filled with pine trees and pieces of houses. It was then that we realized how destructive this flood was going to be. The flood caused about 180 square miles to have
Santa Claus is the one thing children believe in unfailingly. I mean, the exact gifts they want for Christmas always appear under the tree overnight, and for a child the only explanation is magic. But in today’s world of over parenting, the
As a writer once said, " The best lies are based on the truth, at least in part." ( Quote) Santa is one of these beautiful lies, but not all of him. Santa was real at one point, but is now dead, meaning he is real in history. Santa's origin story was exaggerated. For stories to spread widely, there needs to be embellishments, like Braveheart.
The Real Santa Claus Saint Nicholas was a rich, kind Bishop who lived in the fourth century in Asia Minor. Santa Claus, as seen in the 1994 movie, The Santa Clause, is portrayed as a rosy-cheeked, chubby divorced father who carries a cashmere bag of toys into homes of good children. While these two tales are many, many centuries apart, it is interesting to see how it has evolved over time and the similarities and differences between them. Santa Claus, from The Santa Clause (1994) movie, may have more similarities to the tale from the fourth century than what we think. St. Nicholas Similarities The Santa Claus character was based on the Christian bishop St. Nicholas.
He over exaggerates often throughout the article, however he has a few solid points. I agree that it does not do much for their imagination, although studies have shown that it helps children throughout their stages of development. When lying to your child about the story of Santa Claus, you help stimulate the cognitive development that a child needs in order to grow into a healthy human being. Santa Claus continues to be a pertinent issue in society amongst parents and their children today. It can be very challenging to know which side you agree with based on your family culture, how you cultivated and what you believe in. In today’s society, few children believe in Santa because of so many available outlets pertaining to the issue. While children can easily receive an answer to their question, there has been an abundance of parents interested in what they should tell their children. Parents who want to make sure they are doing the right thing, however they sense not having the answers to everything dealing with this controversy. Santa Claus is a part of an everlasting Family Tradition that has been a part of Christmas for numerous years and will continue to
One of the modern mythological people is Santa. The Santa Clause story stretches all the way back to the 3rd century. The legend can be traced back to hundreds of years to a monk named St. Nicholas. It is believed that Nichola was born sometime around 280 A.D. in Patara, near Myra in modern day Turkey. Nicholas became the subject of many later told legends. It is said that St. Nicholas gave away all of his inherited wealth and traveled the countryside helping out the poor and the sick. One of St. Nicholas’s best story is that he saved three poor sisters from being sold into slavery or prostitution by their
