About this listen

Santa Claus, The History and Facts. If you are looking for any information about if Santa Claus is real or not, you are in the wrong place. We definitely will not be covering that, instead we will be learning about the history of Santa Claus.

Santa Claus, alternatively recognized as Saint Nicholas or Kris Kringle, boasts a rich and intricate history interwoven with Christmas traditions. While contemporary perceptions depict him as the jolly, red-clad bearer of gifts for well-behaved children on Christmas Eve, his origins trace back to the 3rd century. Saint Nicholas, revered for his generosity, initially gained recognition as the patron saint of children. This exploration delves into the evolution of Santa Claus, spanning from his ancient roots to the ubiquitous presence of mall Santas, with a focus on the influential roles played by two New Yorkers, Clement Clark Moore and Thomas Nast, in shaping the enduring image eagerly anticipated by millions of children each Christmas Eve.
