it's "always" Christmas here. IF Something good is spotted along the way we say : either a late or early christmas present depending if its before or after JULY 1rst.

i saw a documentary on the reindeer people. traditionally they wear an outfit much like Santa Clause and live in YURTS that are like bigger teepee's and generally round in shape, with a hole in the roof that acts as a dual usage chimney and entrance. In the hole going out is a smooth birch tree to facilitate entering the yurt
house. As members of the tribe visited each other for a season's
greeting bringing along a sack full of "goodies" they would enter by sliding down the birch tree which by the way was rather blackened by soot from the fire and some would get on their clothing. This is where the origional SANTA got his idea about sliding down the chimney with his sack of presents. He also decided to use reindeer because the reindeer had learned the secret of how to fly. The reindeer people would also rescue a lost little reindeer with no mother and adopt it into their FAMILY so when full grown it would lead the reindeer herd for them.The very first reindeer that was adopted was probably named RUDOLPH.
