What does Santa Claus do all year long?
Apart from sending gifts to children on Christmas Eve, what do they do on other days? Santa Claus is very busy all year long from January to December, busy making gifts, maintaining his sleigh, looking for good children, attending meetings, and maintaining his weight! All the preparations are just to let the good children get the gifts on Christmas Eve and say to them: Merry Christmas!
