1. Background
Jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way...
With the singing, the annual Christmas has arrived as scheduled.
According to legend, Santa Claus is a descendant of Odin. It is also said that Santa Claus came from the Nicholas family, so Santa Claus is also called St. Nicholas. It is said that he was originally the bishop of the Myra city in Asia Minor. His name was Sinterklaas. He was revered as a saint after his death. He was an old man with a white beard, wearing a red robe and a red hat. Every Christmas he drives from the north in a sleigh pulled by a deer, enters each house through the chimney, and hangs Christmas gifts in Christmas stockings on the children's bedside or in front of the stove. On the second day, the first thing the children do when they wake up is to look for gifts at the bedside.
We all know that Santa Claus will come to give us gifts at night when we are asleep, but when did he get to our house, let's make a Santa Claus detector today. Put the detector at the bedside to detect when Santa arrived.
