No.
City of “Father Christmas”?
Bari’s most important monuments are closely tied to historical events. A building particularly related to Bari’s history is the Basilica di San Nicola. The Nicola in question is said to have been bishop of Myra, a city of Asia Minor, in the fourth century C.E. In antiquity, the details of his life became confused with those of another cleric of the same name, who lived in the sixth century. So legends of different origins surrounded this person. One, among the many, called this Nicola the protector of children because it was said that he resurrected three children who had been cut to pieces and pickled by a wicked innkeeper! It is not surprising, therefore, that during the Middle Ages, an unscriptural veneration of this personage spread and supposed relics of his were much sought after.
According to the book Puglia-Dal Gargano al Salento, Nicola, known in Latin as Sanctus Nicolaus, “became Santa Claus in lands north of the Alps and later in North America; his bishop’s cloak was transformed into a fur-trimmed cassock, his miter into a hood, and the saint into a charitable, white-bearded old man with a bag full of presents.” Lo and behold, Father Christmas!
There are other interesting monuments in the city, but for Jehovah’s Witnesses, a building of particular interest may be the Church of the Holy Trinity and Saints Cosma and Damiano, built in the 1960’s. Its apse contains a mosaic depicting the Tetragrammaton.

I do. In the real world we are living, there are tons of people doing things like Santa Clause does. Santa Clause is a perfect icon for generous people.

Is there a revelation regarding Santa Clause? No. In fact, we can determine when man created him.
Has anyone every seen Santa Clause? Sorry there are no facts regarding Santa Clause. No observation of Santa Clause by men (note plural) independent of location.
What you believe is yours; however, Santa Clause is man made without anyone seeing him. Unless you see Santa Clause yourself and can find someone else who can verify what you saw, join the grown ups
Ho. Ho. Ho.
