Petco Photos With Santa AND Legendary Story Of Santa Claus

Legend has it that Santa Claus appeared in Scandinavia thousands of years ago. In Norse mythology, Odin, the god of wisdom, art, poetry, and war, rides on his eight-legged horse to gallop around the ends of the world, punish evil, promote good, and distribute gifts in the cold winter.

At the same time, his son Thor, wearing a red suit and using lightning as a weapon, fought a fierce battle with the ice and snow gods, finally defeating the cold. According to pagan legends, Santa Claus is a descendant of the god Odin. In the central and northern regions of Germany, Nicholas was called "Santa Claus", in Britain he was called "Christmas Father", and later called "Santa Claus" by Dutch immigrants in the United States.

In Dutch legend, Santa Sintirklass also brought an assistant named BlackPeter, who arrived on a boat. He is carrying a large book which describes the performance of all Dutch children in the past year. Children who behave well will give them gifts, and those who are not good will be taken away by his assistant (reindeer).

Children want to know where Santa Claus lives and when they will receive gifts. The answer is usually that Santa Claus lives in the North Pole and his workshop produces Christmas gifts. In 1927, the children’s show host Markus Rautio, who was called "Uncle Markus" by the children, revealed for the first time that Santa Claus lives in Korvatunturi in Lapland.

Korvatunturi in the eastern border region of Finland found an ear that resembles a hare. In fact, it is Santa’s ear. It is used to listen to the wishes of children. Scandinavian legend tells the history of Santa Claus and his assistant elves.

At the end of the last century, different legends about Santa Claus in the northern hemisphere were combined into the same version-the old man with the white beard distributed gifts to the children, and then returned to Kornatunturi in Finnish Lapland.

Beginning in 1950, Santa Claus happily stayed in Napapiiri, and in addition to Christmas, he also communicated with children and young people. More and more people visit Santa Claus regularly. In 1985, he established his own studio. Every day Santa Claus comes to the office to listen to the children's Christmas wishes and communicate with them. Santa’s Village is Santa’s main post office, which receives letters from children all over the world to Santa.
