Santa Claus shares similar traits with many historical figures and characters, most notably Sinterklaas, Saint Nicolas, Father Christmas, and even the Norse god Odin. Whether these individuals are all the same person is debatable, but even if we look at the history of Santa Claus as we know him today, we can see that hes been around for hundreds of years. Some might think the title of Santa Claus is passed down from generation to generation, but its really just been the same guy delivering presents for all these years. Its not clear when he started this tradition, but ever since then hes been coming every Christmas Eve to deliver presents to everyone whos been good during the year. With decades of experience under his belt, Santa Claus has his Christmas operation down to a fine art and science, and he will continue to be one of our most important cultural figures in the years to come.
