Many today watch and view and harbor the snow drifted sleigh of Christmas stories around a jolly Saint Nick ... a multi colored array of flashing lights ... rudolf with a red nose shaking from a blizzard of ice storms ... on and on and on ....

but do u really know the REAL story ... of a jolly ole man ... called Santa Claus ... reffered to by his ORIGINAL real name of Saint Nick ...

for u see ... Santa Claus has NOTHING to do with the north pole at all ... nor reighdeer ... nor ice sheets of cold ... but the oppisite in REAL HISTORY ... a history that there is indeed a SAINT NICK ... a chimney he climbs down .. and a man who leaves presents ...

but u see ... Santa ... real name Saint Nick ... that all the other countries stole his essence from ... is actually a DESERT MAN ... in the middle of what is called modern day TURKEY ... and NOT from the NORTH POLE ...

and here it is ....

Saint Nicholas was born on the Aegean Sea coast of Anatolia in Patara. As a Byzantine Christian bishop, Nicholas of Myra anonymously dropped gifts of coins down the chimneys of village girls who lacked dowries, thereby allowing them to marry and probably avoid a life of prostitution. After his death he was declared Saint Nicholas, patron saint of virgins, sailors, children, pawnbrokers, Holy Russia, and others. 
     His fame grew in different cultures, such as in the Dutch figure of "Sancte Claus", and in the German legend of Christkindl (the Christ child) who was helped by the elf Belsnickle, imitated by adults in furs who brought gifts. These traditions evolved into Kris Kringle, as defined by Clement Moore in the famous 1822 poem "A Visit From St. Nicholas" which starts: 'Twas the night before Christmas.... In the USA's Civil War era, Thomas Nast further solidified the image of Kris Kringle in Harper's Magazine illustrations of a familiar white-bearded, gleaming-eyed man. Today in Turkey, Saint Nicholas is known as "Noel Baba", Father Christmas. 
     Built before his death in 343 AD, the Saint Nicholas Church held his remains and was restored as a Byzantine basilica in 1043, and was restored again in 1862 by Tsar Nicholas I of Russia and again by Turkish archeologists. Saint Nicholas' town of Myra is now called Demre in Turkey.
