History of the Rottweiler:
The Rottweiler’s history dates back to the Roman Empire, where these medium-large, black and mahogany colored dogs herded live cattle that were used to feed the Roman legions. The dog remained an important part of the cattle region but declined in the 19th century, until the buildup towards WWI and the need for ‘police dogs’. The Rottweiler’s strength, intelligence and ‘trainability’ made it a natural guard dog. This breed requires good training from a solid, competent owner who is capable of providing firm guidance and possesses the physical strength needed to control the dog. Over the last several years and due to poor breeding, inadequate training and/or abuse, attacks on humans (especially children left alone) have led to the classification of Rottweilers as ‘dangerous dogs’, although most reputable owners/breeders would describe these animals as loyal, loving, protective and fond of children. However, because of the dog’s size, strength and natural guarding tendencies, its best to monitor them and ensure that they’re never left with anyone who’s incapable of handling them.

Santa Claus:
Christmas would not be complete without Santa Claus. His laughter and gifts are an integral part of Christmas, more so for children. Children peer through the windows waiting for Santa’s arrival. He is believed to come riding through the snow in a sleigh pulled by reindeer, led by his favorite Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. Santa is also accompanied by Elvin, the elf, who looks after Rudolph.
Children believe that Santa Claus makes gifts for them. Many children leave stockings so that Santa can put their gifts in them. Others even decorate their Christmas list and put it on the windowsill along with a little bit of sugar so that Father Christmas won’t miss them. They also leave pies or cookies and some kind of drink as a snack for Santa.
The custom of Santa Claus coming along with a sack of gifts is related to the life of Saint Nicholas. Nicholas was a generous saint who lived in a town called Partara in the East. He was very fond of children and was kind to the poor and the downtrodden. For all the wonderful things he did, his life came to be symbolized in the legend of Santa Claus. Santa Claus is an integral part of the spirit of Christmas.
In 1881, political cartoonist Thomas Nast drew on Clement Moore’s poem, “Twas the night before Christmas”, to create the image we have of Santa Claus today. His cartoon, which appeared in Harper's Weekly, depicted Santa as a round, cheerful man with a full, white beard, holding a sack full of toys. It was Thomas Nast who gave Santa Claus his bright red suit, trimmed with white fur, his sleigh with reindeer, the North Pole workshop, elves, and his wife, Mrs. Claus.
Frosty the Snowman:
Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul, with a corncob pipe and a button nose, and two eyes made out of coal. Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say, he was made of snow but the children know how he came to life one day. There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found. For when they placed it on his head, he began to dance around. Oh, Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be, and the children say he could laugh and play just the same as you and me.
Thumpetty thump thump, Thumpety thump thump, Look at Frosty go. Thumpetty thump thump, Thumpety thump thump, Over the hills of snow.
Frosty the snowman knew the sun was hot that day, so he said, "Let's run and we'll have some fun now before I melt away." Down to the village, with a broomstick in his hand, running here and there all around the square saying, “Catch me if you can“. He led them down the streets of town right to the traffic cop. And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler "Stop!" For Frosty the snowman had to hurry on his way, but he waved goodbye saying, "Don't you cry, I'll be back again some day."
Thumpetty, thump, thump, thumpe
