Christmas is a Christian holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, but it’s also a time for family unity, solidarity, and generosity. Christmas symbols like the Christmas tree, Nativity scene, reindeer, and Santa Claus contribute to creating a magical and festive atmosphere. The Christmas tree symbolizes life and hope, while the Nativity scene reminds us of the religious significance of the day. Reindeer and Santa Claus recall the tradition of the kindly old man who distributes gifts. Christmas is a season of reflection, love, and peace, and its symbols help make this celebration even more special for families around the world.

ACTIVITY PROPOSAL
REINDEER
Reindeer are Santa Claus’s friends at Christmas! They are very special because they help Santa Claus deliver presents to children all over the world. Together, they fly through the sky in a magical sleigh.
Reindeer symbolize magic, friendship, and generosity. They are like heroes who work as a team to make children happy. At Christmas, they remind us that it’s important to be kind, help others, and be together with loved ones.
Moreover, reindeer remind us of nature and renewal. During Christmas, when it’s cold outside, reindeer show us that nature is resilient and always returns to its beauty, like a Christmas gift for all of us!
