Santa Clause

Yeah, of course  was an actual figure. His real name was St. Nicholas. He was born in 300 A.D. At an early stage of his life, Santa lost his parents. Later after this happened, he was raised in a monastery. For about some longtime, he remained there in that particular monastery where he reached to Bishop’s position. Later on Santa became a benefactor saint of giving. Saint Nicholas (Santa Claus) was really a very loving & affectionate figure. So, it’s now clear Santa Claus is real; he wasn’t a work of fiction.

Santa carry gifts to good children’s houses during late evening before Christmas day & actually at midnight hours of Christmas Eve i.e. December 24. Even Santa gives gift on Dec. 6 which is or on his Feast Day, December 6 (Saint Nicholas Day).

When small kids move to next stage of their lives, i.e. when they grow up, they start feeling Santa to be work of fiction. Even children questions from elders about Santa’s reality. Even people among us, have asked this too. Now you must be clear about Santa’s reality. So now what you gona tell to any kid who will ask you about Santa’s reality.
