How long has Santa been around?

The legend of Santa Claus has been around for centuries. The first mention of him was in a Christmas poem written by an Englishman named Clement Clarke Moore in 1822. The poem, "A Visit from St. Nicholas," is also known as "'Twas the Night Before Christmas." In the story, Santa Claus is described as being dressed in red and white fur and having a long white beard. He comes down the chimney on Christmas Eve to deliver presents to children who have been good all year long. Santa Claus's origins are unclear, but many believe he was based on Saint Nicholas, a 4th-century Christian bishop from what is now Turkey. There are some similarities between these two figures: both wear red and white clothing; both give gifts to children; and both traditionally arrive at homes via chimneys or windows on December 24th.

What is Santa's favorite thing to do on Christmas Eve?

Santa's favorite thing to do on Christmas Eve is to give out presents. He has a list of all the children in the world and he goes around to their houses and gives them presents.
