| Well,
this is the truth about Santa Claus. Ask anyone, especially postman Special Delivery Kluger.
You see, one day a tiny baby was left on the door step of Burgermeister Meisterburger.
Well, Burgermeister Meisterburger didn't like babies at all. In
fact, The Burgermeister ordered his guards to take the baby away.
The guard was pulling the baby through the forest on a sled when the
rope broke sending the sled zooming out of control down the
mountainside. Straight into the home of the Kringle family.
Well, the Kringle family, who once had been the first toy makers to the
King, took the baby in as one of their own. They called him
Kris Kringle because the meaning of KRISTKINDL is Christ
Child. That, after all, is what Christmas is all about. So,
you see my friends, that is how Kris Kringle got into the toy business
in the first place.
Now, Burgermeister Meisterburger
was a very grouchy man. The day that he tripped on a toy and hurt
his leg he outlawed toys in Sombertown. The children of Sombertown
were very sad. What would life be like with no toys? Kris
Kringle began dropping off toys that his family had made to the children
of Sombertown. This, of course, infuriated The
Burgermeister. Kris Kringle had to pass through the Land of the
Winter Warlock in order to get to Sombertown. Talk about
grouchy? The Winter Warlock was a very mean and bitter man.
Kris Kringle knew that there was good in the heart of all men.
When he gave The Winter Warlock a gift of a toy train it warmed The
Winter Warlock's heart. So much, in fact, that The Winter Warlock
became a close friend of the Kringle family.
Now, along the
way, Kris Kringle met a beautiful young lady named Jessica. They
were married and now she is known as Mrs. Claus. How is it that
Kris Kringle became Santa Claus? The Burgermeister Meisterburger
couldn't stop Kris Kringle from bringing toys to the children of
Sombertown. You see, he threw them all in jail! Luckily
enough, Winter had some magig corn that made the reindeer fly. The
reindeer flew them over the walls of the jail and off to freedom.
The Burgermeister was very upset about this. So, he made Kris
Kringle Public Enemy Number One! In order to continue to do good,
Kris Kringle decided to change his name. When he came to live with
the Kringle family he was wearing a tag that said
"Claus". This is how he became known as Santa
Claus. Soon, Santa Claus was delivering the toys that the Kringle
family made all over the world. Santa Claus was very busy trying
to keep up with delivering toys in different parts of the world every
few days. He decided to deliver toys only one time a year.
That would be Christmas Eve, in case you haven't been paying attention.
Yes, it's a
wonderful story with a great ending. It's also a story that
doesn't have to end. That is why we should always try to give more
than we receive. |
