Santa’s reindeer can fly and take him from house to house. They land on the roofs of the houses, and then Santa climbs down the chimney to leave the presents under the Christmas tree. On the morning of Christmas Day (25 December), children usually get up very early to unwrap their presents. Then they have plenty of time to play with their new toys.
