Remember Harry's kiss with Cho Chang in the movie Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix? I don't know if you noticed the plant above their heads, which is a member of the Christmas "atmosphere group": mistletoe.

Santa Claus doesn't always wear red. Santa Claus used to wear green clothes to remind people that spring was not far away.

In this way, it also successfully shaped the image of Santa Claus recognized by people today as red-clad and white-bearded, cheerful and joyful.
Rudolf the reindeer had a red nose since birth and was often teased by other deer. However, on a snowy Christmas Eve, Rudolph used his red nose as a signal to gather the lost elk.

On Christmas Eve, Santa Claus decides to help the family by throwing three bags of gold from their chimney, one of which happens to fall into a stocking hanging on the fireplace. So the custom of putting gifts in long socks for children was passed down.
