Oh, hello there!
I'm Santa. AKA St. Nicholas; Kris Kringle; Father Christmas... but the girls dig the Santalicious!It seems I'm some kind of a mythical figure who delivers toys to children around the world each year on Christmas Eve. According to legend, I live at the North Pole and oversees a toy workshop run by busy elves. Each December 24th, on the eve of the celebration of the birth of Jesus, I'm said to fly around the world delivering his toys in a sled pulled by eight reindeer: Blitzen, Comet, Cupid, Dancer, Dasher, Donder, Prancer, and Vixen. (A ninth reindeer with a shiny nose, Rudolph, was introduced in Gene Autry's 1949 country music hit "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.") My name was derived from Sinterklaas, the Dutch term for the ancient Christian figure of Saint Nicholas. Now how cool is that!?
My myth was popularized in America by the 1823 poem "A Visit From Saint Nicholas," attributed to Clement Moore. The poem begins "Twas the night before Christmas"... In the early 1860s cartoonist Thomas Nast drew Santa as a round, bearded man in a red suit, an image that stuck... An 1897 editorial by Frank P. Church in the New York Sun coined the famous phrase "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus." Church was replying to a letter from a young reader, Virginia O'Hanlon, who asked if I really existed... According to the Encarta encyclopedia, the nickname Kris Kringle evolved from the German words for Christ child, Christkindl. So help me g*d...
Iv'e been making my own music since... well...heh, forever! and now it's this time of the year again when things are finally starting to get busy, ya know what I mean... CHECK OUT MY TOUR DATES TO SEE WHEN I'MA COMING YOUR WAY!
