Santa was a real person back in the 1700s-1800s but he used to be named nicholas and became a saint for his good deeds. He really used to deliver food, clothes, and toys to children and there families. That's why he is also calles Saint Nick.

They knew this because 1 night they found a man beat up in the street & brouht him 2 their house.The man said " I am hopeless and have no home or place of shelter".Nicholas then started 2 whine and th@ brought there attention to the open window which showed a big house in back of theirs.They were stunned @ knew th@ never was there. @ that moment they saw nick shining
and laughing & knew he had a unique power to bring joy to others. The homeless man smiled and said "It's a miracle" & lived in th@ back house forever.
