Yet still, each day I'll be around.

PUZZLE #7:
I do love the holidays… who am I?
You will know that I am coming
From the jingle of my bell,
But exactly who I am is not an easy thing to tell.
Children, they adore me
for they find me jolly,
but I do not see them when the halls are decked with
holly.
My job often leaves me frozen,
I am a man that all should know,
But I do not do business in times of sleet or ice or snow.
I travel much on business,
But no reindeer haul me around,
I do all my traveling firmly on the ground.
I love the time of Christmas,
But that's not my vocational season,
And I assure that is because of a sound economic reason.
Who am I?

and a wolf (what a crazy market :-). On the way home he must cross a
river. His boat is small and won’t fit more than one of his purchases. He

would eat it), nor he can leave the she-goat alone with the wolf (because
the she-goat would be eaten).
How can the farmer get everything on the other side?
