What? Santa Claus is a bastardisation of the Germanic Christian Sankt Klaus/ Sinterklaas tradition. The Dutch, Belgians and some regions in Germany and I believe Liechtenstein still hold the tradition. And sinterklaas is the veneration of Saint Nicholas, a 4th century bisshop of Myra, present day Turkey. Saint Nicholas gave gifts to children, and still does. Then in the 1930's Coca Cola copied this tradition and introduced Santa Claus in their marketing. And made him obese. Sinterklaas has never been fat, Santa Claus has. But Sinterklaas has black slaves and Santa has elves.
