I Am a Nobleman in England

Jingle bells, jingle bells. . . . . .

Snowflakes were falling one after another, and the piece of snowflakes was dancing in the air, or flying, or hovering, or falling straight and fast, and fell on the ground.

The whole of Dunsford turned into a vast white world, with few pedestrians on the road, abrupt Christmas music broke the tranquility here, and the sound of "tapping" horseshoes came from far to near.

A decorated Christmas carriage pulled by two horses decorated with elk horns has appeared on the streets of Dunsford, with three Santa Clauses in red costumes on the carriage.

In the UK, the horse is the mascot and symbolic animal of Christmas. During Christmas, horses wearing Christmas hats can be seen on many occasions, and Santa Claus' reindeer has also turned into a horse. In the carriages of many tourist attractions, the horses pulling the carts are put on "antlers" to pretend to be "reindeer".

Every Christmas, children all over the world will take out their socks the night before and hang them on the fireplace and Christmas tree. Because they believe that when they fall asleep, Santa Claus will come from the northern snow country on a sleigh pulled by nine reindeer, and secretly stuff presents into their socks. . .

The three Santa Clauses sitting in the carriage are undoubtedly Arthur, Eddie, and Edmund. They are very familiar. The sound of music resounding through the sky completely broke the tranquility of Dunsford. Residents of many houses facing the street stood at the windows one after another. Looking at the Christmas carriages parked on the street full of presents, everyone's faces were full of curiosity, doubt and astonishment.

"Hehe, children, Santa Claus is here to give you presents!"

The music paused, and a Santa Claus shouted heartily with a microphone.

"boom!"

As the voice of Santa Claus fell, a door was opened, and a five or six-year-old boy in a sweater and slippers ran out of the house, shouting excitedly: "Grand, you idiot, I just say There must be Santa Claus..."

"Cole, come back to me..."

Behind the child rushing towards the carriage on the snow, a pair of anxious and distraught parents chased them out in home clothes. To be honest, they were really full of vigilance against the stranger who suddenly appeared in Dunsford, watching The bear kids in my family were getting closer and closer to the carriage. There were three Santa Clauses on the carriage, and two of them had already jumped off the carriage, which made the parents even more nervous.

Speaking of Santa Claus, we have to go back many centuries. His prototype is a kind priest named "Saint Nicholas". The priest, who lived in the 4th century, was well-known for caring for children and being generous. It is said that when his parents passed away, he distributed all his property to the poor in his hometown.

At that time, there was a kind-hearted nobleman whose wife died of illness, leaving him and his three daughters behind. The nobleman ran out of money trying to invent. They had to move to the farmhouse, and his daughters had to cook, sew and clean themselves.

A few years later, the daughters have reached the age of marriage one after another, but the father has become even more depressed because he has no money to buy a dowry for his daughter. One night, after the girls had done their laundry, they hung the waffles to dry in front of the fireplace.

After St. Nicholas knew about their father's situation, he came to their house that night. He saw from the window that the family was asleep, and he also noticed the girls' long wails. Immediately, he took out three small packets of gold from his pocket and threw them down the chimney one by one, just in time to fall into the girls' long sleeves.

The next morning the daughters awoke to find their cassava filled with gold,

Enough for them to buy a dowry. The aristocrat was therefore able to see his daughters get married and lived happily ever after.

Since then, it has become a tradition to hang socks on the fireplace under the chimney and put gifts in the socks, and it has been passed down. St. Nicholas has also become the prototype of Santa Claus who was later chanted, and drilling the chimney has become a legend in the story. Santa's way of delivering gifts.

In addition, according to the "Bible", the magi from the East gave gifts when Jesus was born, worshiped Jesus, and expressed their honor to the savior of mankind. This is also one of the origins of the custom of Santa Claus giving gifts to children.

However, only children will believe that there is a mysterious Santa Claus in this world. Adults know that the so-called Santa Claus who drills the chimney has always been their father.

Seeing the child running to the carriage and the parents chasing after the child, Arthur with a snow-white beard took out a beautifully packaged gift from the carriage and handed it condescendingly to the ecstatic face and raised his hands. With an old falsetto laughing: "Hello, Cole, Merry Christmas, this is a gift for you!"

"Ah! Santa Claus, you know my name? God, this is really cool, my stupid brother told me that there is no such thing as Santa Claus in this world, so are you really Santa Claus?"

"Haha..." Arthur pretended to stroke his white beard, and laughed heartily, "Of course, child, of course I am Santa Claus."

"But..." Cole looked at the Santa Claus dressed up by Eddie and Edmund with a puzzled face while holding the gift, looked up at Arthur and questioned: "Then they are also Santa Claus? Could it be?" Isn't there only one Santa Claus?"

"Haha..." Arthur laughed again, bent down, stroked the snowflakes on the bear child's head, and explained: "Son, I am not the only Santa Claus, after all, there are many children like you in the world , I can’t deliver all the presents by myself, so there are as many Santa Clauses as there are children in this world!”

"Then...then, can I be Santa Claus when I grow up?"

"Haha, of course, when you grow up, you will become a very good Santa Claus."

At this time, the child's parents had been standing aside for a long time, but they found that the three of them were not malicious, so they did not stop their child's behavior. After hearing the conversation between Arthur and the child, the parents looked at each other With a smile, he was more at ease and let go of his guard against the three Santa Clauses in front of him.

At the same time, many residents were in front of their windows, seeing what was happening on the street outside, watching the children holding gifts, happy jumping and jumping, shaking hands with the thankful pair of Santas The couple, everyone dispelled the vigilance in their hearts.

"Crack, click—"

The doors were opened one after another, and the children swarmed towards the Christmas carriage like runaway erhas, shouting and yelling.

"Gift--"

"Santa, my gift—"

A large group of bear children chattered around the carriage asking for gifts, jumping and jumping happily, and every child who received the gift had a happy and bright smile on his face.

And adults stood in front of their doors, looking at this warm and harmonious picture with smiles on their faces. Many people picked up their mobile phones and started taking pictures and videos.

Soon the gift distribution was completed in dozens of minutes. After thanking Santa Claus, the children who got the gifts scattered away one by one, but there were a few older children who stayed, hoping to take a photo with Arthur and the three of them in the Christmas carriage .

"Which charity is this?"

"Hehe, it's not a charity, it's Earl Arthur of the Boleyn family and his younger sister and younger brother."

"How did you know?"

"Look, I've seen the badge on the carriage before. It's the badge of the Boleyn family. I went up to confirm it and greeted Earl Arthur."

"Ah, really. Then I should go to say hello..."

After the kids left, the adults began to gather around in twos and threes, and greeted Arthur, thanked him, shook hands, and the scene became more lively. Moreover, almost all the adults came forward to take a group photo.

"Thank you, thank you everyone. We still have to go to other streets to give gifts to other children. The weather is too cold. Everyone, go home and don't catch cold." Arthur had already taken off his beard and said with a warm smile.

Hearing what Arthur said, the adults said hello one by one, and then went home, but seeing each of them talking on their mobile phones, Arthur and Eddie, Edmund knew that the next gift delivery It will be more lively.

The fact is also the same, almost as soon as the Christmas carriage stopped on another street, the doors of the surrounding houses were opened one after another, and the bear children who looked like runaway Erha rushed over shouting in twos and threes.
