			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wherever you go as the season of Christmas becomes ubiquitous, you can be able to find different representations of Santa Claus. Santa Claus is known to be the ‘Father of Christmas’, a celebrated mythical character who is believed to reward people who have been nice during the past year. He is believed to go down chimneys on the night before Christmas when everyone is asleep to leave gifts under the Christmas tree for children who always behaved well. Though he is a mythical character, this event of gift-giving is oftentimes turned into reality by loving parents who wish to give their children a little surprise when they wake up.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-30 aligncenter" title="christmas-santa-claus" src="http://www.fromjoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/christmas-santa-claus.jpg" alt="christmas-santa-claus" width="350" height="499" /></p>
<p>Santa Claus resembles a man with a large belly whose face is covered in white beard and is wearing a red robe with white lining. When you go to shopping malls, specialty stores, or sometimes even in the street, you can be able to find people who portray the role of Santa Claus allowing children passersby and audiences to sit on their lap and take a picture with them. Though Santa Claus is sometimes used to promote certain businesses, the jolly thought of seeing this bubbly man around makes the Christmas season more fun and exciting.</p>
<p>Christmas will not be complete without stories of Santa Claus and how he travels from the North Pole riding on his sled driven by reindeers. He then starts his quest of looking for children who have been “naughty or nice”. Children who have been nice are rewarded while those who have been naughty were disciplined by Santa Claus by taking away their favorite toys. The importance of this story is to impart to children the essence of doing good things and though it may just be a fictional story, it has been in our lives since we were young and it will be passed on to the future. Thus, Santa Claus, fictional that he is, will remain in our hearts and lives forever.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Christmas is the time of the year when the shopping districts become most crowded and these areas become the busiest. People tend to spend more on Christmas season for themselves and for their loved ones. It is the time when people allow themselves to be pampered in accordance with the joyous events that come along during this season. Also, people shop during this season to decorate their homes with different emblems that signify the momentous commemoration of the nativity of Jesus Christ.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-35 aligncenter" title="christmas-crowd" src="http://www.fromjoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/christmas-crowd.jpg" alt="christmas-crowd" width="350" height="263" /></p>
<p>Some people commence with their shopping activities on the onset of Christmas celebration. As early as September, many shops offer freebies and discounts in regard with the celebration of Christmas. Other shops offer limited edition mementos for a specific Christmas season while others create product packages that customers can avail for a much lower price compared when the products were bought separately.</p>
<p>Christmas becomes apparent with the decoration of different stores with the symbols of this festive event. Stores fill their spaces with Christmas decors such as a Christmas tree in one corner, a wreath fixed on the door, Christmas bells surrounding the whole store and making a harmonious sound as the wind blows on them, putting up of Santa Claus figures, and many more. This enables the creation of a Christmas-centered ambience in every store that you may enter during this season. The combination of the colors green and red is widely used during this season as these two colors signify Christmas.</p>
<p>Though the battle for Christmas shopping is harsh, it is an enjoyable activity that you can even do with your family. Oftentimes, people spend quality time with their families by doing Christmas shopping.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The night before Christmas is celebrated with the gathering of friends and families in a home that is memorable to them. Oftentimes, the celebration of Christmas especially for huge families turns into a party where people reunite and rekindle their relationships with one another. An important component in a Christmas party where close people meet is the ambiance created for the Christmas celebration. Decorating the party space is important in creating a joyful feeling and setting the mood for renewing family ties.</p>
<p>Having a theme for the gathering is helpful in decorating the whole area. In planning for the design of the place, you can think of a theme that can make everyone feel comfortable with it. Adding bits of innovation to it can be so much enjoyable during the actual event.</p>
<p>In thinking of a theme, consider the things that are probably memorable and noticeable to your guests. If they love a specific movie, you can dwell on the concept of that movie as the theme of the Christmas party. If they enjoy games and playing around, you can try to create a Christmas carnival in the party place. If the party is mainly attended by children, a party theme on a certain animated character is perfect. Add to it a requirement of attending in a costume to make it more interesting. Offer a prize for the guest with the best costumer to make it more fun.</p>
<p>If you cannot think of a specific theme, the classic Christmas theme is unmistakable. Just add sprinkles of snow-like décor to make it appear like a White Christmas or add a more modern Christmas theme to it by adding high-tech lights and sounds to amuse the guests.</p>
