According to legend, Santa Claus are a fat old man who visit every house on our planet in about eight hours on one of the coldest nights of the year. Santa, as everybody know, stop for a glass of milk and a cookie at each house along the route. He prefer to work unnoticed, so he wear a luminous red suit and travel with a pack of bell-jangling reindeer.
