Santa Claus, also known as Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, or Santa, is a legendary figure originating in Western Christian culture. He is said to bring gifts to children during the late evening and overnight hours on Christmas Eve.
Origins and Evolution.
Santa’s origins date back to the 3rd century, when Saint Nicholas, a bishop of Myra in modern-day Turkey, was known for his piety, kindness, and generosity, particularly towards children. Over time, the legend of Saint Nicholas evolved, and he became associated with gift-giving, especially in Germany and the Netherlands. The Dutch called him “Sinterklaas,” which eventually transformed into the English colloquial “Santa Claus.”
The modern image of Santa Claus, with his red suit, white beard, and jolly demeanor, was popularized in the 19th century through literature, art, and advertising. Coca-Cola’s iconic Santa illustrations by Haddon Sundblom in the 1930s further solidified the modern image. Today, Santa is often depicted as a warm, friendly, and pleasantly plump figure, as described in Clement Clarke Moore’s 1822 poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas” (also known as “’Twas the Night Before Christmas”).

Santa is often accompanied by his associates, including:
