There are interesting facts about Santa Klaus that you need to know, TSM Lovers. Check out the explanation below!

Santa Claus Inspired by Real Characters

The figure of Santa Claus was not entirely fictional or imaginary. The figure with a distinctive laughing voice is said to have been inspired by a bishop named Saint Nicholas. Saint Nicholas is a very generous person. The difference is that Saint Nicholas is tall and thin, different from the image of the saint we know.

First Created as a Coca Cola Christmas Icon

If Saint Nicholas was tall and thin, you may wonder why Santa is depicted as we know him today. The beginning of the depiction was for the needs of the Coca-Cola company's Christmas icon.

The red color in Santa's shirt is the same as the dominant color in the Coca-Cola company logo. It turns out that the Santa figure created by Coca-Cola has successfully become a Christmas icon that is loved by children to this day.

The Story of Santa's Reindeer Comes from the Poetry of an American Artist

It is said that when delivering gifts, Santa Klaus uses a flying carriage drawn by 8 deer. The story emerged from the poetry of an American artist named Clement Clarke Moore. The poem in question is entitled "Twas Night Before Christmas" and was written in 1822.

The story of Santa and the Deer is still a phenomenal story to this day. This story is widely used by parents so that their children want to be nice by the lure of getting a gift from Santa on Christmas Eve.

Santa Claus may not be there to give you or your relatives gifts. But you can be a saint for them
