It is American tradition for children to be told that many of their presents are brought to them
by Santa Claus.

Santa flies around the world on Christmas Eve on his magic sleigh pulled by reindeer and
delivers presents while the children sleeping.

Parents teach their kids to behave because Santa only gifts to the nice children, not the
naughty ones.
