Evolution of Santa Claus | History

[@jakeilano6821]

Imagine if you were a little bit younger and finding out Santa was just a marketing tool for Christmas and a way to make kids good, behave, and do what there told. Anyway happy holidays everyone 🌲🎄🎁🎅🧑‍🎄🤶.

What if Santa is real but we've all did something naughty, that's why we never see him?

[@ironspider9858]

FastCarsNoRules220 No he’s fake. There’s no evidence whatsoever to prove it

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

+Iron Spider Technically Santa was historically a real person, he's just known as St. Nicholas. However the whole flying around the world in one night thing, complete fantasy.

All i know that St.Nicholas was the first santa claus every Christmas St.nicholas give gifts to the children and as the video says that thomas nast (idunno the spell soooo) created an upgrade version of them he called him santa and made him taller and older and have a different story and he made that so we (The new generations) can believe that santa is true but the santa that was made is all an imagine so I believe santa is real but the real santa doesn't have a sleigh that could fly with 8 reindeers the real santa was a human that gives children gifts every Christmas......

I no longer believe in the stereotypical image of Santa, however, unlike most people I know, I do believe there is a supernatural order to the universe, so I just believe that Santa is basically the spirit of the real St. Nicholas and he just makes his Prescence known within us on Christmas Day when we give gifts.

We In the Nordic countries have never celebrated Christmas and St nicholaus. Lerned this when i got older... our name for Christmas is Jul and his name is Julefar, julgubbe and stems from the name Julnir which is another name for Oden. Even though we are Christians we celebrate the hednic version of it :)

[@awegahn]

Huh, "Julefar" is that the Norwegian name for him? In Sweden we call him "Jultomten" - Which essentially means "the Jule Gnome". We had this belief in yard gnomes (like in the series "David the gnome") that we superimposed on Santa. It seems its a long mishmash of myths come together. Though, to be fair for a long period it was "Julbocken" that handed out presents (the Jule Goatbuck), all the way until the 1880s. Then a Swedish poet (Viktor Rydberg) wrote some lines probably affected by the American traditions in the late 1870s and we jumped on the "Santa Claus" bandwagon. His name might be different, but for all intents and purposes it is the same character we are referring to.
