Well , it got an answer. In the middle ages there was a catholic bishop whose name was Nicholas. This good man had the habit of giving gifts to poor kids and families. when he died , supposedly he was canonized , therefore called ST.Nicholas. that is where the legend of Santa Claus came from.

No Santa Clause isn't real however, I like the concept of make believing so children has something to look forward to the next day. The Idea of Santa Claus is to get the children into bed early the night before Christmas. So Santa's helpers thier parents can help Santa wrap Gifts for the kiddos.

Yes Santa is real I once heard a noise in my house but on Christmas Eve if you go to a part and Santa is suppose to come he doesn't always cause he might be at a different house so somebody might have to dress up as Santa!

Santa Claus, Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Santy, or simply Santa is a gift-giving figure in various cultures who distributes presents to children, traditionally on Christmas Eve. The popular American form Santa Claus originated as a mispronounciation of Dutch Sinterklaas, which is a contracted form of Sint Nicolaas (Saint Nicholas).

Oh my goodness, Santa isn't real but he is based on a real man who used to go around and leave gifts on front porches.
