Christmas is that very special occassion that family and friends travel accross the globe to share love, hope, happiness and gifts. It is a time for sharing; as the hundred Christmas jingles go! It is a time to spoil and be spoilt. Most countries, cultures and families have their own tradition- but the obvious is of course non other than, Santa.
Whether you are 5 years old or 50 years old. Whether you spend Christmas in the hot climates or icy climates, religious or atheist.
But who and what actually started the Santa Tradition?
“The legend of Santa Claus can be traced back hundreds of years to a monk named St. Nicholas. It is believed that Nicholas was born sometime around 280 A.D. in Patara, near Myra in modern-day Turkey. Much admired for his piety and kindness, St. Nicholas became the subject of many legends.”
If the legend of St Nic, Santa Claus, the bearded guy flying around on reindeer and magically able to fit his size 48 waist down tiny chimney’s through every house on the globe within 1 night, seems a bit far fetched, we can all agree that such a legend is a beautiful gift of imagination for the children of the world. To share a little hope and magic this time of year. Some may say it is a lie so therefore it is wrong- I believe that allowing children to believe in something before their minds get warped by reality is not such a bad thing. After all- the man who started this legend was a Saint.
So let’s safely say, the Red Hat and Christmas Tree is a safe way to say Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night!
Here at The Train, we are much the same. With our bright and over decorated tree in the corner with gifts falling sprawling out onto the floor and the random window snow flake & red hat (just in case you missed the tree!) we do Christmas too. Not forgetting the corny “White Christmas” music playing in the background. Just for the red nose on the reindeer!
But have you ever thought how you can bring Christmas into the work place? Do something different? Thinking of how the heck do you afford the huge list of gifts when you know the entire family is visiting; not just the grandparents and Aunties though- no, the second cousins, the spouses and the dogs included, along with baby Jimmy whom you have never met!
Ladies & Gentlemen; SECRET SANTA! is here to save the (Christmas)day!
Secret Santa is becoming a more plausible option for families and businesses worldwide. You can even download apps to make it even more simple, as if it wasn’t simple enough!
Elfster Secret Santa App is a fine way to start an easy gift exchange. I came accross this platform when I woke up and realised my own family grew expenentially when I thought “oh c&&p everyone is now married- with kids, and grandkids, and cousins”. So instead of fretting how do I include my Grandmother and Mother-in-law and sister-in-law and and and, to my budget- I could now quite simply Eflster the heck out of Christmas!
The old fashioned way: Start with a hat full of names attending & each person picks out a name to buy a gift for.
The digital (aka Millenial way): Download the App and follow instructions
Most of the time a max spend will be put in place. Just to stop Lucy recieving a R1000 gift and Bob only a R50 gift. (No judgements). Each person then has no pressure to buy every family member a gift and instead can focus on their secret santa. Of course, if you want to buy for more than just one, by all means. At least everyone gets a little something with no major bankrupcy! For the workplace this works very well too- no one ever need be left out again.
There you have it.
Whether your spend your Christmas with Family or Colleagues.
Make Christmas that extra special
With much love this Christmas, may you all have blessed and wonderful day and indcredible new year!
Bye for now

I must express appreciation to you just for bailing me out of this challenge. Because of browsing throughout the search engines and meeting recommendations that were not powerful, I was thinking my life was over. Living without the strategies to the difficulties you have fixed by way of your article is a serious case, and the kind which could have negatively damaged my entire career if I hadn’t come across your blog post. Your main talents and kindness in playing with a lot of stuff was helpful. I don’t know what I would have done if I had not come upon such a point like this. I can now look ahead to my future. Thanks very much for your impressive and effective help. I won’t hesitate to recommend your site to anybody who will need assistance about this problem.
I have been surfing on-line more than 3 hours today, but I by no means found any interesting article like yours. It¡¦s lovely value enough for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content material as you probably did, the net can be much more useful than ever before.
of course like your web-site however you have to take a look at the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling issues and I to find it very troublesome to inform the truth on the other hand I will surely come again again.
