How Children Celebrate Christmas Around the World

Image
A little while ago, for Halloween, we did a post about how children celebrate Halloween around the world. It was so cool to learn about all the different ways that a single holiday could be celebrated. So we thought we’d do the same for Christmas. We already learned about Saint Nicholas and how he became Santa Claus, but do you know about the rest of the holiday? Are you even sure why we celebrate this day and give each other gifts? Well, let’s find out… Origin of Christmas Christmas is the day that we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. The holiday is mainly Christian, but has come to be celebrated by many other religions and cultures, though is still primarily celebrated within the United States and European countries. The history of how this holiday came about goes like this: the birth of Jesus Christ, the one who was prophesied to save the Jews, was predicted for a certain day. After his birth, there was much celebrating and people came from far and wide to see him. We even spl...

Hermey the Dentist Elf

Do you remember a few days ago when we mentioned that Santa of course doesn’t force all of his helper elves to make toys? Well, we also mentioned that there was at least one elf who wanted to do something besides make toys. His name is Hermey, and he is a dear friend of ours! Have you ever seen the Christmas special Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer? If not, it’s playing this year on Amazon, and you can look for it on certain TV stations. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer is an important Christmas classic movie because we learn all about how Rudolph came to lead Santa’s sleigh on Christmas Eve, and we also get to meet someone very special: Hermey. Hermey’s Story If you know anything about Christmas elves, you’ll know that Santa asked them if they would like to build toys for him for this most festive holiday. They of course said yes, but now in 2017, hundreds of years after the invention of Christmas, some of the elves want to do other things. Namely, Hermey. As you see in...

Dental Superheroes!

Image
I’m a superhero guy. I grew up on comic books and as an adult I’ve watched in delight as the characters I grew up with have taken over the movie theater. It’s like a dream come true. Spiderman was my first obsession. What happens when you give a regular kid amazing powers? The stories wrote themselves. Then came the X-men…heroes that were born with their abilities and had to learn to accept themselves as different than regular people. Later in my comic book reading I began to favor Batman and Iron Man…brilliant men with unlimited resources that turned themselves into super heroes. As the years passed and I was forced into adulthood, I realized that my dreams of being a super hero would have to come to an end. Which honestly worked out for the best because Midland doesn’t have buildings that are tall enough to swing from and I don’t look good in lycra. But what about being a super hero in my chosen profession…dentistry? “We’ll get that pesky root tip out in no time, Bub.” Firs...
