The Humble Beginnings Of Santa Claus
While waiting for Santa Claus to bring you your eagerly awaited Xbox 360 Kinect, you may have spent a few moments thinking on his origins. Whether you did or you didn't, worry not; here follows the low down on his evolution. Have fun!
Saint Nicholas
The bishop of modern Turkey's Myra during the 4th century, Nicholas was the only child of wealthy and highly religious Christian parents. His uncle, also a Nicholas and bishop of Patara, raised him following their deaths during an epidemic; when he died, tests have shown that Saint Nicholas himself was barely five feet tall. Saint Nicholas is perhaps best known for his generosity, gift giving (no Wii games back then, though!) and his concern for the welfare of children.
Father Christmas
The name "Father Christmas" is known in many countries and languages. Essentially a merry, somewhat sozzled old man, the original Father Christmas didn't have much specifically to do with gifts or children.
Santa Claus
This persona originated in the United States, particularly in New York where inhabitants of the city sought out symbols of their non-English past following the American Revolutionary War. Drawing from the Dutch Sinterklass tradition, the name Santa Claus came from the English language corruption of the latter (and first featured in the American press in 1773). His first American appearance in 1810 drawn by cartoonist Thomas Nast saw him in traditional bishops' robes, but by the 1880s Santa's appearance became gradually more secular until he took on the red and white furred robes that we recognise today.
Santa Claus appears in a variety of contemporary media. Perhaps one of his most famous roles is appearing in The Coca-Cola Company's seasonal advertising campaigns (although White Rock Beverages had previously used him to sell mineral water in 1915 and then later Ginger Ale).
I wonder how well he would do playing with a Kinect...
