Was Real, ehy?
Yeah, okay, you got usÖwe are really excited about Christmas over here at Lifeís Biggest
Questions, and why shouldnít we beÖit is the most wonderful time of the year!

What shall I buy my mum, am I naughty or nice, why do we hang stockings on Christmas eveÖ.but

is that like!
I got so excited, I forgot to introduce myself, I am Rebecca FelgateÖ. and before we launch

Okay, guys, so Ö.likeÖSANTA is real.
Santa clauseís origin comes from a Monk called Nicholas who can be traced 2,000 back to 280
AD.
Nicholas lived in Turkey, then called Myra and was a very charitable man.
The origins of Santa Clause come from this manís act of kindness.
The legend goes that A recently widowed man had three daughters to raise and found himself
in sudden poverty after his wife, and their motherís death.
Back in those days, when women married, their husbands were offered a dowry, a sum of money.
Antiquated, sure, but the widower was worried without enough money for a dowry the girls
would be poor forever and may have to be sold into slavery.
Knowing the manís concerns, kind Nicholas went to the manís home on a chilly December
evening and, knowing he would be too proud to take the money from him, he dropped gold
coins down the chimney.
What he didnít know was that the girlís stockings were drying by the fire, and the
coins landed in them.
His generosity saved the family and word of mouth passed the story on through the ages
and earned him the name Saint Nicholas.
His spirit may live on in Santa Claus, but he is long since dead.
So what if Santa as we know him today was real, clad in red and fur, with a big white
beard, living in the North Pole and making toys to deliver with his team of reindeer?
WellÖit would be nothing short of magic.
Weíre living in a time of a well mapped earth.
While there are places that man has yet to set foot, there is no place a plane couldnít
fly and photograph.
The Northpole is a reasonably good hiding place for Santa, as he is unlikely to come
across much human footfall, but there is a good chance his base could still be discovered
by those looking for it.
The Geographic North pole, by the way, is north of Svaalbad, a Norwegian Island.
HumanÖ.interesting.
If Santa was real, he definitely could not be human.
Perhaps he would be a time lord, like the Doctor.
Doctor Santa.
He would have some kind of strange yet super power of telekenisis as he is able to tell
whether people are naughty or nice without having ever met them.
He must also have a super human memory and an ability to communicate with elves and animals.
Speaking of time travelling, delivering Toys all over the world is definitely only someone
with a time machine, or a speed of light sleigh could manage.
The more I think about it, the more like the Doctor Santa seems ñ his sleigh would need
some of that spacious Tardis magic in order to fit a whole worlds worth of presents in
it.
If Santa was real, he WOULD indeed be super fat if he ate all the food left out for him.
In America it would be milk and cookie-alicious, but in the UK he may get kind of drunk from
all the sherry we leave out!
I guess that explains his rosy cheeks.
If Santa was real, that would mean that flying Reindeer are real too, which is pretty awesome.
How do I get myself one of those?
Also, elvesÖ.can we talk about the elvesÖ.I hope theyíre earning a living wage Ö.
If not someone better get Hermione Grainger on the phone so she can rally SPEW.
I think when it comes to Santa, itís best to take the whole idea with a pinch of Holiday
magic and not worry about the finer detailÖ.
Leave that to saint time lord claus.
SoÖ..
I think we all have a better idea of who santa is, where he came from and his true identity!
Better get those fish fingers and custard at the ready for Christmas eve.
Hurrah for all who get the reference.
