Sleds are intertwined with the traditions of Christmas and have been for a long time. Our favorite Christmas songs include the use of sleds. Jingle Bells romanticizes the one horse open sleigh, while several songs about San Jolly Ol 'Nick to mention Santa's favorite mode of transport – Yes, you guessed it … his sleigh.

Maybe we like the sled in its simplicity. His design – a platform or a box of two corridors – is nothing complex. Or maybe because we like the feeling of we feel weightlessness when a group of horses or dogs dragging us at a very exciting. Sleds allow us to enjoy the winter paradise created. We allow the transport of materials or ourselves when the ground is snow or ice-covered. And, as noted above, allows a Santa's sleigh to deliver millions of gifts to children around the world on Christmas Eve.

Sleds have been around for centuries. Historically have been used extensively in countries like the United States, Canada, Russia, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Iceland and the Netherlands.

Some of the earliest European settlers were the United States of Dutch origin, and these pioneers used to ride sleds to the north of the country in the months of cold winter.

Now, after the arrival of the train, car and airplane, sleds and their close relatives – the cars – have become new elements captivate us with their nostalgia. That evoke images of yesteryear, of a simpler time when society was less complicated. But the popularity of the sleigh, but It is not an important mode of transport will never die, thanks to their affiliation with Santa Claus.

We decorate our home for the holidays with replica sled. We hang ornaments and sleigh on our Christmas trees. We take our children to see Santa Claus at the local mall, and often we photograph in front of your sled.

In the U.S. the north in winter, we have adaptation sled – called a sled – and go sled or sled. Things for a child, some in the winter is more fun than sledding on a big hill with friends or relatives.
