Santa Claus is generally depicted as a portly, jolly, white-bearded man—sometimes with spectacles—wearing a red coat with white fur collar and cuffs, white-fur-cuffed red trousers, a red hat with white fur and black leather belt.
It is important to note that schools around lagos, have not allowed the economy to wane the age long tradition, Christmas party which can not be complete without gifts from father Christmas, it presence serves the purpose of spice to the Christmas season, since schools can’t wait till 24th as it must vacate for holiday, so Santa visits them within their specified party dates. Amongst the schools visited is The great royalville School,  Agbado station road, Agbado Lagos. Demilade Olajide, a primary 3 pupil who was all joy, he said I’m grateful to my parents, for Deborah Sodiya I’m very excited to see Santa. Hannah Adebowale,  a grade 4 pupil, he said it will be a beautiful Christmas. In Easter olive Montessori , Shina Peter road, iju Lagos, it was also celebration galore with Santa as pupils were presented with gifts. Amongst students spoken to were that of Solomon grace primary, Abule egba, Lagos. Paula and Obi iheme, we enjoyed Santa’s presence as it was  electrifying, as we were glad to be carried by the father Christmas.
Across the schools visited, one thing remains apt that school management’s have resulted to managing their resources to do the  needful. Some were magnanimous to gift their students Food packs meant to be consumed as refreshment and for some others it is Cardigan/Sweater, whereas for others it is Raincoat. Different shades of gift for different strokes of pupils. In an interaction with some teachers they blamed certain decisions on the economy. little wonder, the father Christmas seen requires a little more of grooming to gain , some fat and plumb to perfectly fit into the original physique of a Santa Claus!
