(1, 2, 3) There's a slideshow of photographs of the charity in Korea these hundred years on the official webpage, though Google says it may harm your computer.
In other Christmas news, Everland employees are brushing up on their Christmas cheer through a "Santa school."
Christmas is one of the major holidays celebrated in South Korea, home to one of Asia's largest Christian populations.
"I believe that the students will successfully act as Santa Clauses of Everland after the mental and physical training at the Santa School," said Choi Mi-yeon, a Santa lecturer.
Instead of riding a sleigh, the male and female Santa students ride the roller coaster, are taught special dance moves and the best way to sing carols.
I wouldn't call Christmas one of the major holidays, and I wouldn't cite Korea's Christian population as a reason for whatever popularity it's claimed to have, but I'll save my thoughts on the holiday for next month. Here's a bunch of pictures I stole off the internet:
It sure is amazing to see all those foreigners in our traditional Christmas uniforms. In some countries the major holidays center around dead ancestors and boring stick games, so in order to have a little fun foreigners like this have to borrow celebrations from other cultures and desecrate and denigrate them until they become days for trading chocolate, watching movies, and wearing cute outfits. But that's not true in our country.
There was a reason I posted all those pictures but now I don't remember what it was. I think I was going to make a comment about "of course they have to fuck up our biggest holiday by having girls run around in goddamn ridiculous skirts," but then I remembered this. *sigh*

Christmas is a major holiday in Korea--get the fuck out of town. That is why I had to work on Boxing day at a public school in Korea.
