Many children doubt that Santa is real.
My little daughter is no exception.
This is, as they say, the preamble.
My stories about the fact that the real Santa Claus lives in the Great Ustyug, and his brother Santa Claus in Lapland were perceived as a child not to say what skeptical, but with some distrust. On the morning of January 1, the gifts were under the tree, Santa has already flown away and hasn’t seen him. One day my daughter asked:
Father, Santa gives gifts to everyone, and he wants to get something as a gift too?
Of course, I say, I probably want to...
Let’s make him a gift!

They came there, I bought tickets for a tour and a meeting with Santa Claus, and while mom and daughter walked around the mansion and watched all kinds of fairy tales – I approached the girls, assistants of Santa Claus and asked that when the next tour goes – let them give Santa Claus a towel (with you, of course, taken) and ask him to thank the girl for such a beautiful gift.

Since then, there is no doubt that Santa is actually...
