Santa Clause, also referred to as Santa, is a legendary and mythical character having both historical and folklore roots. He is seen as bringing presents to good kids on December 24th night in many western cultures.

Santa Claus is the persona that children associate most with Christmas. In an effort to get their children on Santa’s “nice” list, parents stress the value of manners and good behavior to their kids all year long. Children prepare a platter of holiday sweets and sing songs about him in preparation for his arrival. But how did Santa become a Christmas icon over the years, and where did he actually start out? Check out some interesting facts about the jolly old Saint Nick.

Santa is best known as the one who brings gifts on Christmas Eve, but it turns out that his history is far from made up. The history of Santa Claus begins in 280 A.D. in what would be Turkey today. A monk by the name of Saint Nicholas toured the countryside helping the ill and needy. According to one legend, he even allegedly used his fortune to give a dowry to three poor sisters, preventing their father from having them sold. By the Renaissance, he was one of Europe’s most well-liked saints and had earned a reputation as a protector of children and mariners.

The story of Sinterklaas, who is Dutch for Saint Nicholas, was brought to New World colonies by colonists from the Netherlands. As Dutch families gathered to commemorate the saint’s passing in the late 1700s, the tale of the benevolent Sinterklaas made its way into popular American culture, eventually taking the moniker Santa Claus.
