Dr. Santa Claus

Santa Claus is also known as St. Nickolas, Saint Nicholas, St. Nick, Father Christmas, Grandfather Frost, and Kris Kringle.

Santa Claus was born in 270 AD.  That means he is over 1,000 years old.  It’s the magic of Christmas that keeps him alive and well.

According to the poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas,” written by Clement Moore in 1823, Santa is described as a jolly old elf with cheeks like roses, his nose like a cherry, and a little round belly that shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly.

Santa has a white beard, a red suit with white cuffs, a white collar, and a black belt.  He also wears a red hat with white trim and wears black boots.

According to legend Santa Claus lives at the north pole with Mrs. Claus elves.
