If you actually trace the roots of Santa Clause, there was a St. Nicholas a long time ago who actually did bring joy and happiness to the children of his town. Sorry, Im a bit rusty on my history, but there was an actual Saint (holy man) who did this. The portrayal of St. Nick has since degernated into a consumer-driven image of one who gives material goods, is jolly, and has reindeer. The real St. Nick was no such man. I'm too lazy to research to post it here, but do some of your own and you will see what I'm talking about.
