How great are Christmas holidays! They’re a great opportunity to spend time at the beach; hang with friends and family; or perhaps chill out in front of the TV watching all the DVD’s you missed during the year. Not to mention sleepovers; Sydney day trips; Surfing; cycling; swimming; coffee and a touch of food shopping never goes wrong.

A (very) Brief History of the Man in the Red Suit
Santa Claus, Saint Nicholas, Sinterklaas, Kris Kringle, Father Christmas. His names and guises are many and varied. The tales that surround the origins of Santa Claus are actually pretty fascinating. Germanic, Dutch and Nordic traditions each have there own version of a Yule-time gift-giver, and these traditions have melded with the figure of Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra (modern day Turkey), along with the British character of Father Christmas, to give us the jolly man in red and white and his eight or nine reindeer. There is no truth to the rumour that Coca-Cola invented Santa Claus, though they are mainly responsible for his red and white garb: he used to wear green, grey, and various other colours until particularly successful advertising campaigns in the 1930s.

Some people can’t stand carols. They find the music kitschy and old fashioned. The words are hard to understand (in exlcelsius Deo anyone?). Everything about Christmas carols seems irrelevant to our culture. I can understand this argument because we want to move with the times and keep making music for people now not people three hundred years ago.
