Kris Kringle where did he come from?

• Answer:

  A little history of Kris Kringle Once upon a time a little boy was born and his parents named him Kris Kringle. Well, what a name they have given him. He knew he had to find a special job in life to carry that name. He studied hard in school and his favorite class was geography. He loved to look at maps and study other cultures. Kris Kringle thought that one day he would be a world traveler. One winter's day little Kris Kringle was playing with some friends when along came a little boy .. so they thought. He was the strangest little boy with curly-toed shoes and pointy ears and he was very, very tiny. The other boys started to make fun of him, but Kris Kringle stood next to him and told the boys to stop teasing. Kris Kringle stayed with this strange little boy and the other children finally lost interest and went home. This funny little stranger began crying. He told Kris Kringle that his name was Harry. He had wandered away from his village and now couldn't find his way back. As we know, Kris Kringle had the mind of an explorer. He knew he could help Harry find his way home so off they went. They traveled through the bitter snow, over mountains and through icy rivers. Kris Kringle and Harry camped at night and traveled during the day. They finally found Harry's little village and to Kris Kringle's surprise, the village was full of other boys and girls who had curly-toed shoes and pointy ears and were small in stature. Kris Kringle spent the evening in the village. He explored and found toy factories filled to the ceilings with toys. The little people made all these toys but had no one to give them to. Kris Kringle thought and thought and finally came up with a brilliant idea. "I'll take these toys around the world," said Kris, "and give them to all the good boys and girls". But how?, he wondered. How will he get these toys around the world? Suddenly, out of nowhere, came a reindeer. He was leaping throughout the village, jumping very, very high. Kris Kringle knew he was onto something. He explored the village a little more and found magic dust. Can you believe it? Magic dust right there under his nose. Can you guess what this magic dust did? It made reindeer fly! Kris Kringle sprinkled the magic dust on the reindeer and he flew. Kris couldn't believe his eyes. He jumped on the reindeer's back (once he came down to earth, of course) and they flew all around the village so Kris could look for other reindeer. Once he had herded up eight reindeer, he sprinkled them with magic dust and they all flew. Kris built a sleigh, filled it with toys and off they went. Wait, were there eight reindeer or nine? Hmmm, stay tuned ... there may just be a story about the ninth reindeer. I wonder, will his nose be bright ?? The End We all know that Santa was born with the name Kris Kringle. But let's tell the story of how Kris Kringle is also referred as Santa Claus. It was a blustery winter's day and a little baby was adopted by the Kringle family. On the baby crib was a name tag of Claus. No one knew what the name meant. One day while Kris Kringle was giving toys to the children, he was arrested by a mean old man named Burgermeister. Once Kris Kringle vowed that he will not pass toys out any longer, the Begermeister let him go. But Kris Kringle knew that he must change his name to avoid Burgermeister. So he took up the only other name he knew. Santa Claus. And it stuck, Kris Kringle is now known as Santa Claus. This became quick news around the North Pole. It was on the nightly news and in the North Pole newspaper. Kris Kringle happily took on the name Santa Claus, and of course someone else had to change her name. Mrs. Kringle happily took on another name, she would now be known as Mrs. Claus. Well the Claus family learned to love their new name. They had to change the sign on their front lawn to Santa Claus. Kris Kringle even went to city hall at the North Pole to add the name Santa Claus to his birth certificate. Well Santa's mission in life is now clear. Santa has been carrying around this secret for years; Santa Claus was born with the ability to create joyful magic everywhere. Santa loved to help children, every time Santa would walk down the street and see a sad child, he would automatically stop and help that child, no matter what he was doing. One day Santa had this grand idea, let's fly around the world and deliver toys to all the good boys and girls. Santa knew this was a monstrous task. So Santa gathered all of his close friends at his home. Santa also called all the managers from all the Toy factories at the North Pole. Santa described in detail to all his friends about how his magic works, Santa also described that he would travel around the world being pulled by eight reindeer. Santa also mentioned that he would like to do this every year on December 24th, so when the children wake up there will be toys under the Christmas tree. All of his friends where elated, they all started to chant, Santa, Santa, Santa. So it happened, On December 24th, Santa and 8 tiny reindeer took off from the North Pole with a sleigh full of toys.
