As we get older, there are less opportunities to get gifts.
\nDuring childhood, Santa Claus would bring us gifts, but those days fade. It\u2019s a harsh reality for a grown-up child.<\/p>\n
The origin of the word “Santa Claus” is said to have come from father “Saint Nicholas” around the year AD 300. “Saint,” abbreviated \u201cSt.\u201dmeans sacred or holy, is often used in region names or holiday names.<\/p>\n
“St. Martin”<\/strong> is one example.<\/p>\n \u25a0Where is St. Martin?<\/strong> Today, half of this island belongs to France, and the other half to Netherlands — very unique! Each country has a different name for this island:<\/p>\n \uff65France: Collectivit\u00e9 de Saint-Martin
\nSt. Martin is an island in the Caribbean Leeward Islands.
\nThis island was discovered by Christopher Columbus on November 11, 1493, coincidentally on the “Saint Martin\u2019s day”, so, this island was named “San Mart\u00edn”(Spanish).<\/p>\n
