Send In Your Answers The Story of Santa "Ho, ho, ho! And a merry Christmas to you!” bellowed a tall Santa at the entrance to Mia’s favorite toy store. Mia and her dad were doing some last-minute Christmas shopping. They needed a few more things for the shoeboxes they were filling for kids who lived in orphanages in poor countries.  “Dad, why do I see so many Santas around at Christmas instead of manger scenes?” Mia wondered aloud. “Everywhere I look I see Santa! See, there’s a gigantic stuffed Santa right over there!” “I agree, there’s a lot more of Santa than Jesus in most stores at Christmas,” said Dad. “I think the tradition of Santa has overshadowed the truth of Jesus’ birth.

Nicole held her candy at arm’s length and stared at it. “I don’t really see what candy canes have to do with Christmas,” she said, “except that it’s the time of year when you always see lots of them. Or maybe it’s because there’s red on them—Christmas colors are red a

There are some carolers. They go from house to house singing Christmas songs. Do you have carolers in Mexico, José?” “No,” said José, “but we do have what we call Los Peregrinos.
