Dear Ethan, Tristan, Logan, Reegan, Sadie and Oliver,

Santa Claus loves to tell stories. This painting shows Santa Claus, also known as Father Christmas, Père Noël, Kerstman and Saint Nicholas, telling a Christmas story to six young children he finds playing amongst the hills, anxiously awaiting for snow to fall.  These happy children love playing in the snow, building snowmen, sledding, making snow forts and skiing.  Where they live, there is sometimes lots of snow by Christmas Day, but sometimes the sun stays bright and the winds blow warm right through December. Then they have to wait until January to play in the deep, white snow.
Here Santa tells the story of the First Christmas.  
Do you know this story?
