I am 27 years old and I would still like to believe that Santa Claus who is also known as Saint Nicholas lives in the North pole with Mrs. Claus and the Elves, checks his list of Naughty and Nice, receives millions of letters from children and sometimes from grown-ups from around the world and that he travels on Christmas eve, December 24, to deliver the gifts on his sleigh with his flying team of Reindeers; Rudolph, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder and Blitzen coming down the chimney with his white beard wearing his red & white suit & black boots into the living room leaving the presents around the Christmas tree making sure to eat the cookie and drinks the milk.
The legend of Santa Claus dates all the way back to the 4th century when a child named Nicholas was born. Nicholas was famous for his generous gifts to the poor. As a grown-up he became bishop of Myra in Lycia, a province of the Byzantine Anatolia, now in Turkey. Nicolas had died in December, thus, it was now easy to associate him as Santa Claus with Christmas and gift-giving.
