Santa's Early Years
The history of Santa Claus begins in the 4th century in Turkey, when he known as Saint Nicholas. He was much renowned for his generosity in giving gifts such as food and clothes to the poor and children. The Romans never liked the ideas of Christianity or anyone who did, so they imprisoned Saint Nicholas.
The vintage Santa Claus figure first became popular with the Dutch people in the 16th century. Santa only became more widely known and popular in the 19th century in the Americas. The poem and traditional Santa Claus biography comes from Clement C. Moore’s “A Visit From St. Nicholas”, whichwas published in the New York Sentinel newspaper in 1823, on December 23
Everyone knows that Santa Claus lives in the North Pole and works with elves, and everyone knows that sometime in the wee morning hours of the morning of December 25, Santa Claus is coming to town, but behind every great man there is a woman. The woman is Mrs. Santa Claus, the pillar behind the legend. Just who is Mrs. Santa Claus? Where did she come from and what does she do?
Santa’s 8 tiny reindeer live at the North Pole along with Santa Claus, Mrs. Santa Claus, and the elves. They have a very important job each Christmas, for without the reindeer, Santa Claus isn’t coming to town. However, Santa didn’t always have these helpful creatures to help him bring toys to boys and girls each Christmas.
