"Santa Claus !!"

Tuesday December the 25th was our weekly meeting and we celebrated the Christmas together. It all started with playing Secret Santa game , in which we exchanged small gifts for christmas * me myself i got a huge bar of chocolate yum yum yummy * then we started taking pictures as our dress code was the usual christmas colors Green,Red and White.


 

This meeting was so special for me, not only due to the Christmas Celebration but because i myself got pinned on this day. I got pinned along with the Community Service Director Ghada El-Ashry and Professional Development Director Mona Mostafa.

last but not least we had home made cupcakes with Cream and Strawberries . The christmas spirit was all the way. We all went home joyful, a present in the hand, a cupcake in the stomach and we all went pins ;)

 
 
 
 

 

 

but before anything . who is Santa Claus ?

as Christmas approaches, children around the world have Santa on the brain. They're wondering if they've been naughty or nice, and daydreaming about their gifts But exactly how did the jolly, bearded North Pole resident appear noawadays?

 

Folklore may have turned Santa Claus into a toy distributor who mans a sleigh led by eight flying reindeer , and to be more punctual they said that Santa Claus lives at the   north pole , with a large number of magical elves  and nine   flying reindeer ,white-bearded wearing a red coat with white collar and cuffs, white-cuffed red trousers, and black leather belt and boots   

 on a real person ,Born around the year 270, St. Nicholas was the Bishop of Myra, a town in Turkey. He earned a reputation as an anonymous gift giver, Nicholas was famous for his generous gifts to the poor, in particular presenting the three impoverished daughters of a pious Christian with  doweries so that they would not have to become  prostitues He was very religious from an early age and devoted his life entirely to Christianityboften leaving them in their shoes, set out at night for that very purpose. Since his death, Nicholas has been canonized as the patron saint of children.

 

Santa Claus has been believed to make a list of children throughout the world, categorizing them according to their behavior ("naughty" or "nice") and to deliver presents, including   toys and   candy  to all of the well-behaved children in the world, and sometimes  coal  to the naughty children, on the single night of Christmas Eve. He accomplishes this feat with the aid of the elves who make the toys in the  workshop and the   reindeer who pull his sleigh
