Puzzles.
A puzzle is when someone is intending to piece together objects (puzzle pieces) in order to come up with a desired shape, picture or solution. They are often seen as a form of entertainment. Countless puzzles which people enjoy include crossword puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, riddles and word puzzles. Word puzzles are usually brain-teasing entertainment like charades and anagrams. In 1760 was around the time when the first jigsaw puzzle from a mapmaker, John Spilsbury, who mounted a map on a sheet of wood that he sawed out each individual country. Years later in the early 20th century, newspapers and magazines started publishing puzzle contests which increased their daily subscriptions. Check out our 3D Puzzles in Gifts for Boys.
Old World Christmas Santa Claus.
Santa Claus truly represents a veritable melting pot of cultures, beliefs and traditions. As immigrants arrived in the New World centuries ago, along with their hopes and dreams for a better future, they brought with them their beliefs and customs surrounding the holidays. The Germans brought their Belznickel and Christkindl, the Scandinavians their gift giving elves and the Dutch introduced the Sinterklaas, all representing the celebration of St. Nicholas. The American legend of Santa Claus embodies childhood innocence and magical delight, as Santa Claus is the bearer of gifts and treats for children everywhere. With his home at the wintry North Pole, he and his merry elves created the toys that put the magic into the holidays. He was a kind and gentle figure, and starry eyed children awaited his annual visit with spirited anticipation.
The legend of Santa Claus is derived in part from the benevolent European figure St. Nicholas, and in part from American writers who wrote children’s poems in the nineteenth century. Clement Moore, who wrote “A Visit From St. Nicholas” in 1822, and Thomas Nast, the famed political cartoonist who depicted Santa Claus in the 1860’s as an elfin figure, contributed greatly to this fantasy. Their descriptions of the jolly man clad in red and white created the folk hero children around the world dream about on Christmas Eve. This American patron saint of children certainly brings joy and delight to all during the holidays. Select this link to view our Santa Ornaments.
