    Santa Claus Christian? No Way! he was Buddhist!:)

    Santa Claus is just an imaginary person, grouped together by the imaginative people with elves and dwarfs and elks and others

    No! That's a pagan belief that equates Santa to God (all-seeing, all-knowing, everywhere at the same time).

    The elves are figments of the imagination just as Santa and flying reindeer; all are based on lies and deception.

    in the original stories.. there are no elves.. St. Nickolas was a charitable person in a small village.

    and in the beginning he wasnt christian...

    About the same as the north pole and th rest of that commercial garbage: made up by Coca Cola.

    Saint Nicholas was depicted usually in purple and white clothing, Coke changed it to the current red and white form.

    Also, Saint Nick's holiday is the 6th of December.

    Santa Claus is an invention of the Coca Cola company, taken from "Father Christmas", I believe.

    They might be based on an old Roman saint.

    coca cola invented the red suited santa that most people associate with Christmas.

    St nicholas has nothing to do with the red suited guy - other then the concept or love and good will.

    St. Nicklaus was a real Saint of our Lord. He went about secretly helping those in need. As time went by, people started dressing up the story, as we usually do, and certain things were added.
