A conglomeration of Saint Nikolas (a real guy who slapped Arminius at the council of Nicea), Kris Kringle (nordic Yule character), father Christmas and a bunch of other rot.

santa clause is actually santa nicolaus. dutch . santa clause originally coems from the dutch. If you wonder why santa clause is in red and white it is because of the coca-cola compnay. since they wanted to advertize during winter they decided to give santa some colors(red and white just like the coca cola can, red and white)
