Santa in Other Countries by Eve In Ireland, when we wake up on Christmas morning, Santa has our presents ready for us but what is it like in other countries? Do they believe in Santa or do they have their interpretation of him. We`ll see now. Christkind that went along with St. Nicholas on his journeys. He would bring presents to good children in Switzerland and Germany. He is angelic and is often drawn with blond hair and angel wings. People in Germany, Austria, Italy and Brazil believe in Christkind. Kris Kringle: There are two stories on the origin of Kris Kringle. The first one is that some one mispronounced Christkind and it stuck. The second one is that Kris Kringle began as Belsnickle among the Pennsylvania Dutch in the 1820s. He would ring his bell and give out nuts and cakes to the children but if they misbehaved they would get a spanking with his rod. The Yule Lads: The Yule Lads or Yulemen, are a group of thirteen mischievous creatures that have taken over Santa Claus in Iceland.

    Memories in Black & White That was a grey day I said goodbye, old school, And you wiped the chalk from your hand and wished me joy; Searching ever the mind moves down the dust of the years, To see in a lively playground the ghost of a laughing boy. Sigerson Clifford This publication is dedicated to: • The pupils, parents, board of management and teachers of Clarecastle National School. • To those ex-pupils who kindly invited us into their homes and who shared the memories of their schooldays in Clarecastle and of village life stretching back over the past eighty years. Since this project was mooted in 2003 some of those wonderful people have died and we hope that their captured thoughts in this publication will be a joy to their families. • To all ex-pupils of the schools who have passed on, having made their mark on the schools and in the wider world. Their names are recorded in the old roll-books that go back to the 1840s. Perhaps, in time, these records will be computerised and made available to a wider audience.
