Santa Claus is merely a fictional character devised by marketing folks to sell a lot of stuff in the name of religion. Has worked for a very long time. I don't think fictional characters have any religion in particular --at least not Santa, as he delivers gifts to kids all over the world --even kids who have never heard of Jesus. It's all about the gifts and the money made -- not a real celebration of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ as it should be.

Santa Claus.....Father Christmas....ignoring the Coca Cola type of image, this person originated via SAINT NICOLAS...Saint being the clue.

In my religion, Santa Claus is an extention of our belief in giving. We give to the children, innocent, gifts of love, and not materialistic in nature.

St. Nicolas would obviously be a christian, after all he is a saint.

St. Nicholas was a rich man who liked to share his wealth, by giving gifts.
