What Is Hidden Behind The Story Of Christmas? It Can Give Us Some Ideas For Designing Christmas Gift Paper Bags

Christmas is a holiday full of joy and blessings. On the evening of December 24th every year, Santa Claus drives a sled pulled by eight reindeer from the North Pole, following the guidance of stars, crossing forests, mountains, and oceans, and giving carefully prepared gifts to children around the world. This is such a wonderful story that countless people dream of one day witnessing that magical scene with their own eyes. It provides us with a classic element for designing Christmas gift paper bags. But why does Santa Claus use reindeer to transport gifts? Where do reindeer come from?

Reindeer are large mammals living in the Arctic region, with dense fur and strong hooves that allow them to freely walk in ice and snow. Reindeer are also the only species of deer in the world where both males and females have horns, which can be used to resist enemies or compete for territory. Reindeer are social animals that migrate long distances every year in search of food and warm places. Reindeer are very important life companions for humans in the Arctic region. They not only provide meat, skin, milk, bones, and other materials, but also serve as tools for riding or pulling carts. Therefore, reindeer hold a high position in the culture of the Arctic region and are considered sacred and esteemed animals.

How is reindeer associated with Christmas? In fact, this can be traced back to the mid-19th century when a poetry collection called "The Visit of Saint Nicholas" was published in New York, USA. One of the poems described Santa Claus driving a sled pulled by eight reindeer from the sky and placing gifts in children's socks. This poem is very popular, widely disseminated and translated, and has become one of the most classic works in modern Christmas culture. This poem is also the first time that the eight reindeer have been named: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen. Later, in 1939, a department store in Chicago, USA, published a fairy tale book called "Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer" to attract customers. It tells the story of a little reindeer mocked for its red nose, but eventually became Santa Claus's right-hand man, leading other reindeer to illuminate the night ahead. This book is also very popular and has been adapted into various forms such as songs, movies, cartoons, etc., making Rudolf one of the most famous reindeer. With such a theme, Christmas gift paper bags incorporating reindeer will definitely be very popular among the public.
