Santa Claus, Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Santy, or simply Santa is a mythical figure with historical origins who, in many Western cultures, brings gifts to the homes of well-behaved, "good" children on Christmas Eve (24 December) and the early morning hours of Christmas Day (25 December). The modern Santa Claus is derived from the British figure of Father Christmas, the Dutch figure of Sinterklaas, and Saint Nicholas, the historical Greek bishop and gift-giver of Myra. During the Christianization of Germanic Europe, this figure may also have absorbed elements of the god Odin, who was associated with the Germanic pagan midwinter event of Yule and led the Wild Hunt, a ghostly procession through the sky.
Santa Claus is generally depicted as a portly, joyous, white-bearded man—sometimes with spectacles—wearing a red coat with white collar and cuffs, white-cuffed red trousers, and black leather belt and boots and who carries a bag full of gifts for children. Images of him rarely have a beard with no moustache. This image became popular in the United States and Canada in the 19th century due to the significant influence of the 1823 poem "A Visit From St. Nicholas" and of caricaturist and political cartoonist Thomas Nast. This image has been maintained and reinforced through song, radio, television, children's books and films.
Codename: Kids Next Door, also known as Kids Next Door or by its initials KND, is an American animated television series created by Tom Warburton for Cartoon Network, and the thirteenth of the network's Cartoon Cartoons. The series debuted on Cartoon Network on December 6, 2002. The series came about as the result of a viewer's poll by Cartoon Network. The series centers on the adventures of five children who operate from a high-tech tree house, fighting against adult tyranny. They use advanced 2×4 technology to battle evil adult villains. Using their codenames (Numbuh 1, Numbuh 2, Numbuh 3, Numbuh 4 and Numbuh 5), they are Sector V, part of a global organization called The Kids Next Door. The series had also broadcast two television films, Operation: Z.E.R.O. in August 2006 and the series finale, Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S. in January 2008.
Overview
Premise
The show revolves around the main home operatives of Sector V — Numbuh One (Nigel Uno), Numbuh Two (Hoagie P. Gilligan, Jr.), Numbuh Three (Kuki Sanban), Numbuh Four (Wallabee Beatles) and Numbuh Five (Abigail Lincoln). Their mission is to fight crimes against kids, such as homework and flossing, committed by adults, senior citizens, teenagers, and other "evil" children. They make up what is known as Sector V of a worldwide organization called the Kids Next Door.
Idaho is the third single to be released from the album Generation Freakshow by the British rock band Feeder. It was released on vinyl the week commencing 27 August 2012, although the digital format was already released the day prior.
As the single was only released on a 7" vinyl and digital download, while not attracting mainstream airplay like many of Feeder's recent singles, "Idaho" did not chart within the top 200.
Music video
The video features Grant Nicholas and Taka Hirose in a bar, while the main character, played by Daniel Mays and dressed as the Lone Ranger, attempts a mechanical bull ride to win a trip to Idaho.
Flash game
An online flash game entitled "Beat the Bull" based on the video was released on Feeder's website and Facebook page to promote the song, in which the player must keep the character on the mechanical bull for a set period of time. Three songs could be won upon completing various milestones; Headstrong, from the Generation Freakshow album; Along the Avenues, a b-side to the single Borders; and an instrumental version of Idaho.

School janitor stunned when Secret Santa elves show up at assembly with $5,000
Jerry Kahn has been the custodian at Edgemont Elementary in Idaho Falls for the past 18 years. He does his regular custodial duties and handles everything from broken items in the classroom to vomit or other messes without complaining.
He is the ultimate handyman, and his colleagues say the school has benefited from it. When students and faculty moved into a new building a few years ago, there were numerous old cabinets, bookcases, etc. that others may have thrown out. Jerry retrofitted many of these items into pieces that are a big benefit to the staff and students at Edgemont.
Jerry is very involved with his church. He and his wife spend many hours helping their fellow church members and the community as a whole. Every Sunday, Jerry drives his church's van around to retirement homes ...

He recently had his chainsaw stolen out of the back of his truck. Our co-worker gave him a little chainsaw to use so he can still get wood for the people who are counting on him. Every day he shows up to work with a bag of donuts and the biggest smile. He is just happy to be at work! He never complains and is genuinely one of the happiest people you'll meet.
Kent has so much love for everyone he is around and his energy is contagious.
Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News elves to pay Kent a visit with a gift we've never given before along with some extra presents. Check out the special moment in the video player above.
