Santa
St. Nicholas' evolution into today's happy, larger-than-life character is a wonderful example of the blending of countless practices around the world. He makes toys all year long with the help of his elves. On Christmas eve he dresses in his famous suit and black boots, climbs into his sleigh pulled by eight reindeer to begin his gift giving trip of toys to the good boys and girls of the world. Today he embodies all the goodness, charity and innocence of childhood.
It was not until the 1800s that the Santa as we know him today started to emerge. Writers and artists depicted a lovable jolly fellow, small in size with a giving heart. On Christmas Eve he would ride in a magnificent sleigh pulled by eight reindeer over the treetops and roofs. He dropped gifts down the chimneys of good boys and girls.
