Reading comprehension - Let's learn about Santa Claus?


It is a little-known fact that the beloved figure we know as Santa Claus actually originated from Saint Nicholas, a monk who lived many centuries ago. Saint Nicholas was known for his large build and generous spirit. He would often give away all his wealth and possessions to those who were in need, making a big impact on the people around him.


After his death, the legend of Saint Nicholas and his generosity continued to spread. People began to give gifts in his honor, and the practice became a beloved tradition around the world. Over time, the legend of Saint Nicholas evolved into the Santa Claus we know today - a happy, jolly grandpa in red and white clothes who rides on a sleigh pulled by reindeer.


Many people believe that Santa Claus lives in the North Pole, where he spends his days making toys and preparing for his annual Christmas Eve journey. He is said to travel the world in a single night, delivering presents to children who have been good throughout the year.


Despite his magical abilities, Santa Claus is perhaps best known for his kind and generous spirit. He brings joy and happiness to children and adults alike, reminding us all of the importance of giving and spreading love during the holiday season.
