Christmas in United States of America
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.

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.

The Christmas in My Eyes
The more time passes, the more I expect for the Christmas. The Christmas Day is going to meet us on 25th of December.
When I was a child at the age of five, I did believe that the Father Chritmas would bring present to me at midnight on the Cristmas Eve. Though few years later, I have found out that the Father Chritmas doesn't exist, I still enjoy this festival every year.
The members of my family get together every year during the time of Chrismas. We decorate our house with Christmas trees and many other lovely things before the day of Christmas. Adults may dress themselves as Father Chritmas to put the presents into our stock while we are sleeping on 24th of December. In the follow say days, we will make the best use of the time we get together.
What I experience during Christmas every year is what the Christmas in my eyes looks like.
