He’s the big man in red. Children in every country in the world know him. He is Santa Claus. He delivers presents to good girls and boys on the night before Christmas.

P1 He might be one of the most recognizable people in the world. He is known for a red fur suit and shiny black boots. His transportation vehicle of choice would be a large sleigh pulled by eight reindeer. He has been seen carrying around a large, red fur bag filled with toys. and he enters peoples house through their chimney to put toys under people's Christmas trees. He has a snow white beard and cherry colored cheeks and nose. He wears a red stocking cap with a white brim.

P2 Santa Claus has many distinct and almost peculiar way of doing things. He gives presents to children who have been good all year. But when he does deliver the gifts, he takes flight in a sleigh that is pulled by eight magical reigndeer. When he stops at a house that he is going to deliver gifts to, he lands on the roof and takes his large bag of toys and slings it over his shoulder and heads for the chimny. Once he has reached the chimny, he elusively slides down the chimny without waking a soul. He sneeks over to the house's Christmas tree and puts the gifts under the tree. Then, he quietly sneeks back to the chimney and shoots upward without a single word spoken and continues his trip.
