Santa reached into the bag again, took out a shining star, and hung it on the Christmas tree: "Teach the children that the star was the heavenly sign of the promise long ago. God had promised a Savior to the world, and the star was a sign that the promise was fulfilled."

He reached into the bag again and pulled out a sugar cane:

"Teach the children that the sugar cane symbolizes the shepherd's gag. It helps him return the lost sheep to the flock. The sugar cane means we are a protection for our brothers."

Then he hung a gift on the tree: "Teach the children that God so loved the world that he gave him his only Son. We thank Him for His incomparable gift. The sages bowed before the holy child and gave Him gold, incense and myrrh. we give gifts in the same spirit as the wise men. "

Then he reached out and took out a candle: "Teach the children! The symbolism of the candle is that Christ is the light of the world, and when we see the lighted candle we remember the One who displaces the darkness."

He reached in again and pulled out a leaf of holly: "Teach the children that this plant symbolizes immortality, symbolizes the crown of thorns of our Savior, and the red fruit symbolizes the blood shed by Him."

&nbsp;I was puzzled.&nbsp;He anticipated my question and with a quick movement pulled out a bag of toys from behind the tree. I stood confused, and Santa repeated:

"Teach the children! Teach them the essence of Christmas, it is forgotten!"

&nbsp;“Teach the children red is the first color of Christmas.&nbsp;It was first used by the faithful people to remind them of the blood which was shed for all the people by the Savior.&nbsp;Christ gave His life and shed his blood that every man might have God’s gift of Eternal Life.&nbsp;Red is deep, intense, vivid–it is the greatest color of all.&nbsp;It is the symbol of the gift of God.”

I heard a warm sound, and he pulled a bell from his bag:&nbsp;

"Teach the children that lost sheep are found with the sound of the bell. It must bring people back into the womb."

The next thing he brought out was a small figure of Santa Claus: "Teach them that Santa Claus symbolizes the generosity and kindness we feel in December."

He reached in once more and pulled out a wreath: "Teach the children that the wreath symbolizes the eternal nature of love. True love is infinite. Love is a continuous circle of affection."

He reached into his toy bag and pulled out a Christmas tree: "Teach them that the pure green color of the Christmas tree - the tree that stays green all year round - represents the eternal hope of mankind.

Santa looked at the tree with satisfaction.&nbsp;The gleam returned to his eyes: "Remember, you must teach children the true meaning of Christmas, not put me at the center, because I am only a humble servant of Him, I worship Him and worship Him - our Lord, our God!"

Then he took an angel out of the bag:&nbsp;

Teach the children that the angels were forerunners of the good news of the Savior's birth. They sang," Glory to God in heaven!&nbsp;Peace and love between the people of the earth!&nbsp;

A week before Christmas I had an unexpected guest.<br/>I had just finished my housework and was about to go to bed when I heard a noise in front of the house.&nbsp;I opened the living room door and saw Santa next to the Christmas tree.&nbsp;He motioned for me not to shout by putting a finger to his lips.&nbsp;"What are you doing?"&nbsp;I began to question him.<br/>But my words stopped when I saw that there were tears in the corners of his eyes.&nbsp;His usual gaiety was missing.&nbsp;He answered me in one sentence:
