How did Santa Claus become Santa Claus?

Santa Claus' Christmas gift-giving has become a global habit. The concept of gifts given to children by mysterious figures is derived from St. Nicholas, a kind bishop who lived in Asia Minor in the 4th century. The Dutch imitate him on St. Nicholas' Day (December 6) to give gifts.

In North America, the British colonists incorporated this tradition into the celebration of the Christmas holidays, and Sinterklaas became Santa Claus, or Saint Nick. In the Anglo-American tradition, Santa Claus always arrives merrily on Christmas Eve in a reindeer-pulled sleigh, crawls down the chimney into the house, leaves gifts for the children, and eats the food that the children leave for him. He spends the rest of the year busy making gifts and supervising the children's actions and keeping them documented.

Santa Claus, known as Père Noel in French (almost exactly the same as Santa Claus), was once inspired by Coca-Cola's red-and-white clothes, which drew Santa Claus around the world in the 1930s. In some cultures, Santa Claus is followed by knecht ruprecht, or as he is called"Black Peter"(Black Peter). In some versions, the gnomes in the toy workshop make holiday gifts, and sometimes Santa Claus and Mrs. Christmas are husband and wife.

In supermarkets in North America and the United Kingdom during the Christmas season, Santa Claus appears with children who can ask for gifts.

In many countries, children prepare empty containers so that Santa can pack small gifts such as toys, sweets or fruits. In the United States, children hang Christmas stockings on the fireplace on Christmas Eve because Santa Claus said to get down the chimney and put gifts in the socks on Christmas Eve. In other countries, children put their empty shoes outdoors so that Santa can give gifts on Christmas Eve (or St. Nicholas Day, December 5).

Gift-giving is not just about Santa Claus, family members and friends are also giving gifts to each other.

If Santa Claus is now in China, then he must be giving gifts and bribes and cursing up with his boss.

Legend has it that an old man accidentally encountered a robber when he went out in winter, and he was left with an egg that robbed him all over his body, and everyone called him Santa Claus (Santa) from then on! Ha.

Think about it from another perspective, if it's a Santa youth, do you bring it back, why not Santa Claus, if it's a Christmas woman, do you bring it back, why not a Christmas man.

He is kind and others do not deserve it.

Christmas has nothing to do with the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance.

At the same time, he dressed in red and used lightning as the **, and fought a fierce battle with the ice and snow gods in the dark, and finally defeated the cold.

As the world changed, writers began to describe Santa Claus as the white-bearded image that we are familiar with today. At the same time, different countries and cultures have different interpretations. In Germany, legend has it that he traveled in a horse-drawn carriage to observe the behavior of people, especially children, and if they behaved well, they would receive many prizes such as apples, nuts, sugar, etc., while bad children would be whipped.

On Christmas Eve, the child always hangs a strip of colorful socks at the head of the bed, and then puts a cup of hot milk next to the socks for Santa Claus to drink, so that Santa Claus can quench his thirst and give himself a big gift.
