Santa Got Stuck in the Chimney

It was Christmas Eve. The children had hung their stockings by the fireplace and were all snug in their beds.

Sometime during the night, they were visited by a big, jolly, old man dressed in red. You got it, it was Santa Claus!

Santa and his bright red toy bag came down the chimney. This was his last stop of the night. First, he filled each stocking with special treats. Then, for each child, he left some gifts.

“A new bike for Suzie,” said Santa, pulling a beautiful pink bicycle out of his bag. “And, a train set for Billy.”

By the time Santa was finished his work, he was a little hungry. He spotted a glass of milk and a plate of goodies, sitting on the kitchen table.

“I’ll just take one,” said Santa, reaching for a piece of chocolate cake. “If I eat too much, I might get stuck in the chimney on my way out.”

The cake was so gooey and so good that Santa just had to have another slice. Soon, the plate was empty.

“Oh my!” said Santa, realizing what he had done. “I’m so full now!”

Santa got up from the chair. As he did, he heard it snap in two.

“Oh my!” said Santa again. “I’ve broken the chair!”

Santa gathered up his bag and went over to the chimney. With a twinkle of his eyes and a twitch of his nose, up the chimney he rose. However, he was only able to get halfway up the chimney before he got stuck. He tried to go further, but the further he went, the more he got stuck.

Oh no!” said Santa. “I’m stuck!”

No matter what Santa did, he could not get out. He dangled in mid-air with his big black boots hanging over the fireplace.

“I’m glad there is no fire on right now,” said Santa, after a few hours had gone by. “My feet would get pretty hot!”

Morning soon came. Suzie and Billy were quite anxious to go downstairs and see what Santa had brought them. They both went into their parents bedroom.

“Merry Christmas!” they shouted.

“Merry Christmas, children!” Mom and Dad said.

Within a few minutes, the whole family was downstairs. Suzie spotted the empty plate.

“Santa Claus was here!” she exclaimed. “And, he ate all the goodies.”

Billy noticed the broken chair.

“Yeah,” he said. “He ate so much that he broke the chair.”

Dad was by the fireplace. He had just placed some kindling into it and was about to strike a match, when he just happened to look up. He saw a pair of big, black rubber boots hanging down.

“That’s nothing children!” Dad said, tugging on one of the boots with all his might. “Santa is still here!”

The children rushed over to the fireplace. They helped Dad pull Santa out of the chimney. They tugged and tugged and tugged. Finally, down came Santa, with a crash.

“Ho! Ho! Ho!” he rang. “Merry Christmas!”

He was gone in a flash, this time, out the front door.

“What was all the commotion about?” Mom asked, coming out of the kitchen.

“Oh, it was just Santa Claus,” laughed Billy. “He was so fat from eating all your baked goods that he not only broke the chair that he was sitting on, but he also got stuck in the chimney!”

The whole family laughed.

A heavy thump, thump, thump was heard on the roof of their house and then a jingle, jingle, jingle and finally, a “Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!”

https://happydays-365.com/frog-day/world-frog-day-march-20/

World Frog Day is an annual observance celebrated on March 20th. Unlike other animals, not all of us love frogs obviously with their look, appearance, and especially the croak-croak sound. They are most often tiny, short-bodied creatures and will make us shrink the face. Frogs are amphibian creatures found both on land and water. They are found to be the predators and are playing a vital role in maintaining the environment throughout its lifetime. But in the recent years, frogs have been threatened with extinction for numerous reason. World Frog Day is an awareness Day celebrated in a way to save these living creatures from any further plight and to provide them with a safer environment to survive.

“I’d kiss a frog even if there was no promise of a Prince Charming popping out of it. I love frogs.” – Cameron Diaz

History of World Frog Day

The World Frog Day has been in celebration since the year 2009. There is no exact mention of the person or the organization who has come up with this awareness Day. The Day is created with an intention to save the different varieties of frogs from being extinct. Frogs are tailless amphibians whose origin dates back to nearly 256 million years ago. They have been valued as food by the humans and also have many cultural roles including literature, symbolism, and religion.There were approximately about 6,000 known species of frog found in which 4,800 recorded frog types found worldwide except Antartica. But in the past decade, approximately 170 species of frogs have become extinct. The reason for its decrease in the population varies as they are dying out due to both human activity and fungal infections.

World Frog Day

Since the 1950s, frog populations have been declined significantly, and about one-third of the world’s species are found to be threatened with extinction. Whereas since the 1980s, over one hundred and twenty species are believed to have become extinct. The decline in the population of frogs has been attributed to emerging fungal disease, habitat destruction and modification, pollution, climate change, pesticide use, and more. More notably all these led to a rise in the number of malformations among frogs. In the recent years, World Frog Day is considered to be the world’s largest day for amphibian education and conservation action. People and various organizations are using this awareness Day to focus on the universal decline in the population of amphibians in the locations across the world.

Numerous conservation biologists are actively working from all over the worlds to find and understand the causes of these problems and the ways to resolve them. Frogs of one species or another can be seen on every continent, except Antarctica. Frogs are tailless amphibians of the order Anura. They are widely distributed, ranging from the tropics to the subarctic regions, but the greatest concentration of species diversity is in tropical rainforests. The oldest fossil of the “proto-frog” had appeared in the early Triassic of Madagascar. However, the molecular clock dating suggests the origin of the frog might extend further back to the Permian and is approximately 265 million years ago.

How to Celebrate World Frog Day

Celebrating the World Frog Day is quite simple. Get to know about the frogs, their, habitats, types, and its environmental roles in detail.
