Where does the myth of Father Christmas come from?
Faher Christmas (also known as Santa) is not a myth. He is a real person, that prepares for the 24th and 25th December (Christmas Eve and Day), for the whole of the previous year. He has many elves and reindeer to help him get ready for such a big event in what is really such a short time. If children aren't in bed late enough, Father Christmas may be delayed in getting your presents to you, so you MUST, MUST, MUST stay in bed and enjoy Christmas Day for when you wake up, run down stairs and gasp at your presents. Enjoy your Christmas this year, Yours sincerely, the Elf near you ;)
