I am a little curious about Santa Claus. Actually this day is the birthday of Jesus. And how did the tale of Santa Claus appear?

The story of Santa Claus is interesting. Santa Claus is named after Saint Nicholas who lived during the 4th century (400 years after Jesus Christ). Saint Nicholas was a generous person and gave gifts to children. This tradition of giving gifts to children gradually spread through Christian Europe and in the 19th century it was brought over to North America by Dutch immigrants. In North America, the character of Santa Claus was popularized and made commercial, like the fat older Santa Claus we can see today.
