Santa Claus

Origin
Santa Claus' origin has been told various ways by various authors. Here is what is widely known about Santa Claus:

Santa Claus lives with his wife at or near the North Pole where there is always snow. Every Christmas Eve he packs his sleigh and flies around the world delivering gifts to children. His sleigh is usually pulled by eight flying reindeer - Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen. If there is low visibility he uses a ninth reindeer, Rudolph, who has a glowing red nose. The gifts are made by a group of elves who live at the North Pole with Santa. He keeps a list of which children are "Naughty" and which children are "Nice." He delivers gifts to the children on the "Nice" list by climbing down chimneys and leaving the presents under a Christmas tree or in stockings.
