Hello, everybody!
Hi, Mermaid!
I'm so excited because Santa Claus is coming soon
-Hi Katharine
Who's coming? Who's Santa?
-Of course, you don't have Santa Claus under the sea
-He comes from the North Pole
-The North Pole is so far away
He sends his elves to watch them
(bells)
Right, let's start from the beginning
Santa Claus has different names
He can be called Saint Nicholas, who protects the children
- Saint Nicholas? - Yeah, that's right
or he can be called "Santa Claus", which is Saint Nicholas in dutch
In France they call him "Père Noël" and in Spain they call him "Papá Noel"
-"Papá Noel"? What does that mean?
-It means "Father Christmas"
And do you know where he leaves the presents?
-I'm not sure...
-Well, he leaves them under the tree and in the stockings
He leaves sweets in the stockings, like these ones
-That story was amazing, Katharine!
So, Santa Claus, who is a saint, travels from the North Pole on his sleigh,
pulled by reindeers and gives presents to the well-behaved children
But I want to know more about the elves
-Right, about the elves. Didn't you see that elf who was here before?
-No, what elf?
-Well, right now, there are elves moving around, watching us
-Why are they watching us, Katharine?
-Don't you remember? Santa Claus sends his elves to watch, to see if the children
are well-behaved or not
Look! There's an elf right there!
Let's ask him what his name is
-His name is Kringle Twinkle
-Elves have very funny names
-Oh... The elf has gone. When's he coming back?
-Well why can't I see him now?
-Because they're watching if the children are well-behave or not
and then you can see them at night, when the children are sleeping
-Can I touch the elf?
-No, you can't touch the elf, if you touch him
He looses all his power and he disappears
(bells)
So, remember:
-Oh! I want to see that elf again!
-Remember to behave well children, see you next time
Merry Christmas!
