Garden Gnomes - TH - Santa Claus
Each year, children all over the world seek out Santa Claus, the gnome, to hear his stories of Christmas past. It is well known that grown-ups cannot hear gnomes, mostly because they don't take the time to listen. In fact, the children often squeal with delight at the thought of their little secret.
As the Santa gnome begins to tell his tales, the children listen intently to the enchanting stories of how other children celebrate the holiday season. They've learned from this unusual Santa that not everyone celebrates in the same way. They learn about so many different languages, customs, and traditions and wish that grown-ups could enjoy all the differences in people as much as they and their special Santa gnome do.
It is said that sometimes if you stay very still and listen quietly, you may just be able to hear him too.
