Santa Claus is a Christian saint originating from Europe allusion. He owns nine reindeer with different names. His biggest worry is that there are fewer and fewer houses with chimneys to climb. Often parents explain to their children that the gifts they receive at Christmas are from Santa Claus. The concept of Santa Claus as a mysterious figure who brings gifts to young children is derived from Saint Nicholas. Nicholas was a merciful bishop who loved alms and lived in Asia Minor in the 4th century. The Dutch would imitate him in giving gifts on St. Nicholas' Day (December 6). 
Every Christmas, Santa Claus rides on a reindeer, and the Holy Child comes to the world holding a Christmas tree. As things change, writers and artists begin to describe Santa Claus as the image we are familiar with today in red clothes and a white beard. At the same time, different countries and cultures also have different interpretations of Santa Claus. In many countries, on Christmas Eve, children prepare empty containers so that Santa Claus can fill them with small gifts such as toys, candy or fruit. In the United States, children hang Christmas stockings on the fireplace on Christmas Eve because Santa Claus has said that he will come down the chimney and put gifts in the socks on Christmas Eve. They place a few gingernut cookies on the table near the fireplace, and Santa Claus is said to eat these cookies as he delivers gifts. In other countries, children place empty shoes outdoors so that Santa Claus can deliver gifts on Christmas Eve (or December 5, the eve of St. Nicholas' Day). In Germany, legend has it that he dressed as a holy boy and put nuts and apples in childrens shoes. He roams around in a two-wheeled carriage and observes peoples behavior, especially children. If he behaves well, he will get apples, nuts, candies and many other prizes. Bad boys get a whipping. Parents suddenly adopted this legend to encourage their children to be obedient.
