Santa Claus

Santa Claus has been depicted many way.  These first two drawings are very traditional.  I love the stories I have read or seen on the screen about Santa.  He is a positive person with good magic.  I think that it is a wonderful tradition to tell your kids about Santa.  As kids, when we get older, we start to question how he does it all.  How DOES he get around the world so fast in one night.  Clearly the answer is magic.  However, just because he comes down the chimney in the USA...on December 25th... he does not necessarily do the same things on the same day in every country.  In some countries he comes to give presents to the children on December 6th.  And in England he leaves the presents at the foot of the children's beds...not under a Christmas tree or in stockings.

I think that reindeer flying is a marvelous idea.  Maybe it was due to magic feed corn...or maybe fairy dust like Peter Pan uses... or maybe just Christmas Magic is what makes the reindeer fly.

(by his magical North Pole)

I heard a cool story yesterday about how Santa focuses all that Christmas Magic that comes from positive thoughts by using the magical North Pole he constructed.  You see, the Earth's magnetic field already brings so much positive energy up north that Santa figure out how to concentrate that energy and transmute it into Christmas Magic.  Hence, the ability for reindeer to fly and faster than light speeds.  And the ability for Santa to travel that fast and get his work done so fast.
