Santa Claus is part of the children's universe, gives them confidence, security and emotional balance, and his myth, with a long and strong tradition, strengthens the family's values.

Even though his name and representations have changed over time, Santa Claus remains the most famous character associated with the great celebration of Christmas.

Christmas in America has long been no longer a religious holiday, but more of a family holiday, when everyone gathers at home. Considering that the United States is a mixture-country of emigrants, it is only natural that all traditions are mixed.

 

The most wonderful feature of American Christmas is that it has a "free-spirit", meaning there are no strict rules and each family invents traditions according to their taste. Breaking with traditions, in fact, is a new trend. In recent years, more and more families are abandoning homemade food and making reservations for an evening at a restaurant with live music, or going to the movies. Hollywood and independent movie studios are preparing special Christmas movies for the whole family.

 

However, it is a tradition that has survived for generations, namely "the apple pie", ie the apple pie. It is quite possible that the baking survived because it is delicious and brings back pleasant memories.

 

Traditionally, it is baked at home, but the shops offer a wonderful collection of baked goods of all kinds and if you don't want to spend a whole day in the kitchen, there are a lot of alternatives available: with apples, cherries, peaches or apricots. Sweets are generally the fault of the holidays.

Everyone has a favorite "sin." For us, it is dark chocolate, the higher the percentage of cocoa, the better: 80% -90% is perfect.

 

And just like delicious chocolate, we have funny Christmas memes for you. Bemorepanda loves Christmas and winter holidays!
