Description
Where did the story of Santa Claus originate? The tradition of the jolly old man dates back to the 4th century. How did he change into a portly bearded man with a hearty laugh and a red suit? Pagan influences provide much of the story. Be he called Saint Nicholas, Sinterklaas, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle or just plain Santa, he is beloved by children (and adults!) worldwide.
