When was Santa Claus invented?

Answer 1

The concept of Santa Claus was 'invented' after a real monk named Saint Nicholas. Over generations this image of Santa Claus has changed and evolved into the modern one we are familiar with. In different countries, the character holds different significance.

Some believe that parents who put presents under the tree and tell there kids Santa brought them are showing a bad example for their kids. Others think it is just a source of fun for their kids and a nice tradition to look forward to.
