One of the most important American traditions....It's Christmas time ..

Santa Claus was born in US in the 1860's he was named this as he had a white beard and a belly, so he was named Santa Claus as this was the Dutch word for St Nicholas, Sintaklaas. Although the Dutch had bought him with them in the 17th century, he did not become an important person at Christmas until the Novelist Washington Irving put him in a novel that he wrote in 1809. This first Santa Claus was still known as St. Nicholas, he did smoke a pipe, and fly around in a wagon without any reindeer, but he did not have his red suit or live at the North Pole, he did however bring presents to children every year

Now answer these questions, taking into account the previous video:

* When is the Christmas day?
* What kind of music is played during this time?
*Mention some  of the activities American do during this time
* what's the real meaning of Christmas for american people?
