Oh, the moment every Neopian has been waiting for is finally approaching. Stockings are lined against the edges of the fireplace, Jazzmosis Christmas music floods the air, a large ornamented evergreen Christmas tree stands in the corner of every Neopian’s living room, and a fresh batch of cookies rest on a plate next to a glass of milk on the table. The night has come for Santa Claus to plop down the chimney and deliver gifts, bringing joy to thousands of Neopets and spreading smiles when they wake the next morning.
Santa’s been on every Neopet’s mind since the first Day of Giving, leaving less room for the other Holiday Neopets. While most focus on pleasing Mr. Claus, these Holiday Neopets are just as important because they each add their

They like colder climates and can be seen frolicking in herds in Happy Valley. They are very playful and enjoy participating in all types of games, especially ones that involve running, because naturally, they can run and soar very quickly.

Seuss, The Grinch is the main protagonist in this tale, but not much background is given on this green fellow. In the story, The Grinch is accompanied by his dog, Max, throughout most of the movie. Max acts as a sidekick that helps the Grinch, but is somewhat of an underdog. But puns aside, Max wasn’t treated the best by the Grinch in most of the movie. The Grinch made him pull an entire sleigh which held the Grinch and all of the Whos’ Christmas food, gifts, and decorations. While Max is pulling the sleigh, The Grinch is continuously yelling at him to make him move faster despite the extremely heavy weight on his shoulders, and expects him to carry all of it on his lonesome. To add onto that, The Grinch makes Max help, treating Max almost like a slave, which is extremely unethical and should never be done. But The Grinch doesn’t really even treat Max like a worker, Max just does what he’s told, and doesn’t get much out of the things he’s done for the

Scrooge was always mean to everyone. They did not like him. He was visited by three ghosts that taught him a lesson. He started being nice. “Scrooge was better than his word. He did it all. . . He was a second father. . . [to Tiny Tim] His own heart laughed.” (Dickens 64). Doing nice things for people can make people happier too. The Grinch, as well as Scrooge, hates Christmas and he expresses it. The Whos hate him for it. He takes the presents of all the Whos, he is about to throw it off the mountain. The Grinch hears a sound. It is them. They are singing, despite the fact their Christmas is ruined. He returned all their gifts and celebrates Christmas with them. He is finally loved by the Whos. Doing nice things for people can make a person happy as well. Although, Scrooge was helped by spirits, The Grinch was held by people. Recent books can be seen using traditional story’s themes.

In the end of both How the Grinch Stole Christmas versions (1966 and 2000) he moves toward people to show compliance. He was attempting to make the Whos happy during the feast by carving the roast beast. He gains love and secures approval to sit with them during dinner. Usually they would run away from him screaming. It’s hard not to grow a detachment toward the Whos. He once moved against people to live in a cave on Mount Crumpit. He moved away because he was teased when he was younger. Even looking at the Grinch, how would he expect to live in Whoville all his life? He isn’t the same species. The Grinch moved against people as a hostility role. The Grinch 's need to feel powerful and to exploit Max by being mean are efforts to lessen the discomfort of basic anxiety (this one of Horney’s 10 Neurotic security seeking
In Middle Age art, St. Nicholas was described as a tall, thin, bearded man. The red suit and white beard worn was similar to the bishop’s vestments. The American Santa was popularized my dutch settlers coming to New York telling stories of a man, after hearing stories of Sinter Klaas a department store dresses a man up as the dutch described him, he wore blue three-cornered hat, red waistcoat, and yellow stockings to a man wearing a broad-brimmed hat and a giant pair of Flemish trunk hose (3). John Pintard was a member of the New York Historical Society, he distributed woodcuts of St. Nicholas at the society's annual meeting, they would be cravings of Santa images and stockings hanging from the fireplace filled with toys and fruit. (3) People came from all over to see the life size Santa. Santa didn't gain the plump and chubby look until the American poem from the 19th century, “Twas The Night Before Christmas”. This is when he gained the signature outfit of the red suit with white trim too. The reason they gave him the plump appearance is so the children would see him as more friendly and they would have nothing the fear (2). Santa grew even more popular, the Salvation Army started dressing some of the people up as Santa so they would be able to afford the free Christmas meals they handed out. From here the popularity of Santa grew across the

Christmas is a very exciting time of the year, especially for children. With the festive season approaching here are a few ideas of how to keep the kids entertained before the big day.
...ch out only for themselves, we lose sight of what Christmas is truly about. Forgetting the being of Santa Claus only makes us slight the kindness on which this holiday is based. Not believe in Santa! You may as well not believe in the very gifts laid under the tree on Christmas morn. Without your faith, Santa Claus would be nonexistent. There would be no yearning in your soul to give of yourself to others, no example to follow. Thank God, Santa Claus exists and exists forever, lightening the heavy heart as the sight of the snow blankets the soul and defines the heart of childhood.
Emma, Marissa and I are in charge of the making the lefse. This has been our job ever since we were little girls, becoming experts through all our years of experience. My grandma makes the most amazing food and always has enough to feed us for a week. After we stuff ourselves full of delicious, lasagna, salads, and hot dishes all made with love and while the adults lean back comfortably in their chairs, us kids go put on our pajamas and troop downstairs to open our gifts. The most memorable gift would be the ring my grandma gave me that used to be my great-grandmothers who died a couple days after my grandma turned fifteen. My great-grandma loved to travel and had a great passion for fashion, so this circle of metal with a little diamond in the middle and a floral pattern surrounding it, had been bought in California and has been in the family since. “Bang, bang, bang!” A huge pounding comes from the front door. Dogs bark, adults grin, and we race to open the creaky door. Santa Claus, eyes twinkling, dressed in red with coal-black boots, and swinging a sack over his right shoulder, steps inside. He plops down heavily; ringing merry bells and passes them off to David, my brother, telling him seriously to keep ringing them so Rudolf won’t fly away without him. With wide eyes, little David shakes the bells with such rigor that if Rudolf was in the North Pole he would be able to hear them. We each take a turn perching on his knee, hesitant at first but then opening up and telling him our age and that, “yes we have been really, really, really good this year.” As Santa’s beard tickles our chin as we lean in close for a picture and his big belly shakes as he laughs at the same time as you start to giggle. Then he opens his sack and pulls out gifts wrapped in colorful paper for each of us. With a few cookies for the road, crumbs in his beard and a
