  • Santa Claus from Country to Country
    Santa Claus from Country to Country Lesson topic: Various ways Santa is portrayed in different countries Content Concepts: -Learn about various Santa Claus legends United States, Belgium, Brazil, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, New Zealand, Romania, Russia, Netherlands, Spain, Chile. -Social Studies, history, map skills -Reading (list of library books) -Math problems -Science projects -Craft projects -Writing practice -Gaming skills -Music (list of Christmas CD’s) Proficiency levels: Grades 4 - 6 Information, Materials, Resources: Social Studies, History, and Map skills United States: The modern portrayal of Santa Claus frequently depicts him listening to the Christmas wishes of young children. Santa Claus (also known as Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Santy or simply Santa) is a folklore figure in various cultures who distributes gifts to children, normally on Christmas Eve . Each name is a variation of Saint Nicholas , but refers to Santa Claus. In today's North American, European and worldwide celebration of Christmas, people young and old simply refer to the hero of the season as Santa , or Santa Claus. (Wikipedia) Conventionally, Santa Claus is portrayed as a kindly, round-bellied, merry, bespectacled white man in a red coat trimmed with white fur, with a long white beard . On Christmas Eve, he rides in his sleigh pulled by flying reindeer from house to house to give presents to children. To enter the house, Santa Claus comes down the chimney and exits through the fireplace . During the rest of the year he lives together with his wife Mrs. Claus and his elves manufacturing toys . Some modern depictions of Santa (often in advertising and popular entertainment) will show the elves and Santa's workshop as more of a processing and distribution facility, ordering and receiving the toys from various toy manufacturers from across the world.

These events center around the figure of the Krampus, a beast-like, punishing “devil” that accompanies St. Nicholas on December 5, the eve of his feast day. By 2010, groups of people in US cities were staging their own Krampusnacht processions in downtown areas, referencing the European enactments while simultaneously innovating their embodiments to meaningfully interact with the Christmas season in the United States. Participation in these events increases annually and the Krampus figure’s presence online and in popular media is on the rise.

This is a “heathen” tradition from around/after the Viking age, stemming all the way back to before the 13th century. As Christianity grew in Sweden around the mid-1100s the pagan and Christian traditions began to mix. Most of the current traditions surrounding Christmas in Sweden is from the 1800s and 1900s. 1 Document Name In Omnibus Omnia Est – an Erasmus+ project www.iooe.eu 2016-12-18 1 Common Christmas traditions A few of the more common Christmas Another common tradition is the advent traditions in Sweden is advent, Lucia, calendar, which came to Sweden in 1932. lights, decorations, advent calendar Each day of December until Christmas eve and of course all sorts of sweets and you get to open a “window” on the calendar delicious foods. as the days grow closer to Christmas eve.

    Frontier Economics Bulletin Water Energy Snow Telecoms Financial services Festive cheer Healthcare Father Christmas Media Post Retailing Transport Environment Walking in a winter wonderland Contract design and evaluation Dispute support services Market design and auctions DECEMBER 2012 The Invisible Handout SANTA’S ECONOMICS Every Christmas, children receive free goods via a supply chain that winds through their chimney and ends up under a tree. It seems simple and efficient: few customers question the quality of service; seek alternative suppliers; or challenge the price charged in accumulated ‘good behaviour’. But in these tough times Frontier’s economists thought it was time to take a cold, hard look at the quality of the service provided by Santa Claus. Father Christmas is coming to town, and if previous years are anything to go by, he’ll be providing unrivalled service in the Christmas Eve present delivery sector. To do so, he has to operate a complex supply chain with some unusual market dynamics. Upstream, the Elves of Lapland manufacturers have been working day and night to ready products. The Sleigh & Reindeer distribution chain is raring to go, offering Santa unrivalled just-in-time delivery solutions. In the retail market, Father Christmas demands a minimum level of “good behaviour” in exchange for a present. And across this whole supply chain, Father Christmas owns and operates a monolithic vertically integrated business. 2 Frontier Economics | December 2012 In many ways, therefore, Santa’s market is unique. But different economists will analyse its peculiarities from different angles. This bulletin describes the probing questions that four of Frontier’s leading practices would put to Santa plc.

I hope that you will find the time to enjoy one of these. We are once again holding our Lutefisk Eating Contest. Please keep track of how many dinners you attend throughout the entire holiday season including February, 2019. We hope to grow our organization each year but will need your assistance. Please invite friends or relatives to join our Lodge. Let’s make it one of our New Year’s Resolutions to bring prospective members to a meeting as a guest. They are always welcome to join us. Thank you to those who have agreed to be officers and directors for 2019. We will hold the election at our November meeting. Please note that there will not be a December or January business meeting. The February meeting will mark the beginning of our 2019 programming. If you have a great idea for a program, just let us know. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and a God Jul !
