In England, Santa Claus is known as Father Christmas. The English Father Christmas carries gingerbread in his pockets, and in his sack he carries hand-crafted dolls, nutcrackers, animals and soldiers that will make a child's eyes open wide in wonder! On Christmas Eve, Father Christmas wears a warm coat richly embroidered with golden hearts as he travels from house to house, leaving presents in stockings or pillowcases hanging at the foot of the children's beds.

One tradition observed by English boys and girls is to write Santa letters expressing their wishes for Christmas. Instead of mailing the completed letters, the missives are thrown into the fireplace. If the ashes rise up the chimney, the wish will be granted; if not, the wish goes unfulfilled. The English love to decorate Christmas trees and hang evergreen branches and mistletoe throughout their homes. So this ol' Father Christmas is bringing a special tree to be placed in the warm, inviting English parlor.
