St. Nicholas ("Santa Claus" comes from the Dutch "Sinterklaas") was persecuted and imprisoned during the reign of Roman Emperor Diocletian; but he was released.
He was born between 260 and 280 and died on December 6, between 343 and 352 -- probably of natural causes as he is not listed as a martyr.
Despite this as long as his spirit lives on they'll still be presents. St. Nicholas was very kind and generous and is the patron saint of children. :)

Fortunately for you, he's alive. Rumors of Santa's death began circulating in 1890 when a rogue elf, Guade, was charged on four capitol counts of murder. At the time, ole St. Nick was in the Bahamas on holiday, but officials didn't know that and jumped to conclusions, then Guade was charged with Santa's murder. Turns out Santa sorted the whole thing out when he returned from vacation-- Guade went to prison and Santa returned to the North Pole and began making toys for Christmas.

Technically, since the legend is based on Saint Nicholas, and saints are usually killed before they are made saints, then yes Santa Claus was killed.
Merry Christmas.

Anyone ever notice that Santa is blackmail?
And list keeping?
And consumerism?
I prefer not to indulge.
Also in gemetria his name equals 666.
Santa is a lie, the first lie parents use to manipulate their children and that is wrong.

No, it wasn't Santa Claus who was killed, it was grandma who was killed BY Santa and his reindeer.

No, not at all. it was an accident. I watched it happen. Tim Allen thought it was a bugler and yelled up to him and Santa got scared and fell off the roof and died.

One can hardly kill a myth, now can they?
It would be like someone telling you they killed "God" or "Satan" or the Easter Bunny or a Leprechaun or Uncle Sam or Cupid.....

That's what I read. I think it was Dick Cheney on a reindeer hunt.
