The modern Santa Claus derived from these two images: St. Nicholas the elf-like gift bringer described by Moore, and a friendlier "Kriss Kringle" amalgam of the Christkindlein and Pelznickel figures. The man-sized version of Santa became the dominant image around 1841, when a Philadelphia merchant named J.W. Parkinson hired a man to dress in "Criscringle" clothing and climb the chimney outside his shop.

The Santa Claus as we know him was invented by the Coca-Cola company as a Christmas advertisement... not sure what year that was but I bet if they had any idea what it would turn into, they would have put a registered trademark on him! LOL

No by really knows when Santa was born because back in those days they didn't really take good records of people's births.

Santa is born when a child is old enough to believe he is.
