Santa Claus is probably the most recognized non-religious symbol of Christmas. He is a jolly old man with a long white beard, big stomach, and red suit. Young children in Canada and the United States believe that Santa Claus lives in the North Pole where he makes toys. On Christmas Eve, (December 24th), he travels through the sky on a sled pulled by reindeer. He lands on the roof of people’s homes, enters through the chimney, and leaves gifts for the children.
