Santa claus : All The Best Free Flash Games Relating To Santa Claus

Each Christmas, on the night of the 25th of December, Santa Claus flies around the world on a sled dragged by his fellow reindeer, to distribute gifts to the children.
To do so, he lands on top of the roofs and tries to go down the chimneys.
When he faces a house with no chimney, he walks through the door, just like each and all of us!
The gifts that he brings to the children are previously manufactured during the year by little elves.

Where he lives, no one knows, but it is somewhere in the North, like in Greenland, or Laponie.
Some countries argue about this point actually: all of them claim to be Santa Claus\' mother land.

Christmas is not celebrated by all.
It is originally a Christian feast, and the very first apparition of the good old man would have taken place in Germany: Santa Claus is like a modern version of Saint Nicolas, a IVth century character who, according to the legend, returned to life 7 centuries after his death to save 3 children from the knives of a cruel butcher.

Santa Claus, as we know it, would have appeared in the XVIIIth and XIXth centuries.
He became little by little a non-religious figure. This fact debunks the urban myth that Santa Claus would have been made up by Coca Cola around 1931 to represent the brand on their adverts.
In reality, the chubby old man holding a generous belly held by a black belt first appeared in XIXth century cartoons and illustrations for children.
Nevertheless, the red color of his outfit has truly been made famous by the distributor of fizzy sodas.

Santa Claus receives millions of letters every year, and always writes back.
When the weather is too warm and inappropriate for him, he is replaced by other benefactors.
Thus, children in Paraguay, where snow never falls, get presents from the Three Kings.
