Christmas is coming, so I want to write about Santa Claus.
The name of Santa Clause derives from St. Nicholas who was a bishop in the east Roman Empire. Then, it is said that Santa Clause started to give presents to children in 19th century in America. In Japan, Santa Clause appeared in 1874.(Accoding to wikipedia)
In my experiences, the magic of Santa Clause disappeared when I was six years old. Exactly saying, I saw him accidentally when I was about to sleep. I didn't have a shock so much because I was vaguely aware of the identity of Santa Clause.
I think Santa Clause is a great person because he gives children not only a present but also a dream. Besides, Christmas is a good chance to cultivate family bond and human relationship. Don't you think so?
