All in Christmas Cheer
Leaving cookies and milk for Santa is one of the sweetest Christmas Eve traditions, but it didn’t start with sugar cookies and handwritten notes. This gesture has roots in Norse mythology, Saint Nicholas celebrations in Europe, and even the Great Depression in the United States. Over time, it became a symbol of gratitude, generosity, and the holiday magic we still cherish today. 🍪🎅✨
Santa’s reindeer have been a key part of Christmas folklore since "A Visit from St. Nicholas" introduced Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder, and Blitzen in 1823. Their names symbolize speed, power, and holiday magic, while Rudolph, added in 1939, became the most famous of them all. Over time, these reindeer have taken on their own personalities in movies, books, and TV specials, making them an unforgettable part of Christmas tradition. 🎄✨
