Saint Nicholas lived from approximately 280 AD to 350 AD. He lived in what is modern day Turkey, and he gave gifts of gold to young unmarried girls who otherwise could not afford a dowry.
The modern interpretation of Santa Clause comes from the Dutch (the pronunciation in Dutch is roughly San Nico Laus - which became Santa Claus).
Although the real St Nick died nearly 1,700 years ago, every year during the holiday season there is still peace and love, and families get together and the children enjoy the joy of the season. And that is the real magic of Santa Claus.
