Task 2:Talk after viewing Script
The image of Santa Claus flying in a sleigh pulled by reindeer and leaving toys and gifts for every child is known worldwide, and Santa Claus has become the most beloved of Christmas symbols.
But if the weather at Santa's home town were to become so warm that there was no more snow at Christmas, Santa Claus would lose his charm.
So snow is really important for Santa Claus, for his home town's Christmas tourism, and its winter tourism as winter is the best season in Santa's home town.
