Just who is Father Christmas and what does he get on the big day?
Father Christmas is known all around the world for being a man of magic who travels the world each year delivering presents. But he’s an ordinary man really – and he has to get up early to ensure his work is done. His day is pretty much like yours and mine. After getting up and going to the toilet for example, he looks after his animals and ensures that the reindeer are good to go. He has a lot of places and homes to visit. And the weather is not too great being winter! Will he ever get the presents delivered and be back in time to get a lovely Christmas dinner and his presents of his own!
No one really knows where Father Christmas lives for it’s a very tightly guarded secret. All we know is that there’s lot of snow there so his sleigh can run smoothly. It could be Finnish Lapland, The North Pole or Greenland but then that’s the magic of not knowing!
