Synopsis
	Part biography and part whimsy, History of Santa Claus explores the past behind the world's jolliest fellow. Known in America as Santa Claus, the good-willed gift-giver has different incarnations all over the world. St. Nicholas to some and Father Christmas to others, the much-loved man has roots in Nordic times. Some say he is modeled after an actual saint while others claim he is an amalgamation of worldwide traditions. In the United States, the latter is true with Christmas customs coming from Ireland, Germany, and Scandinavia. This hour-long presentation travels all over the globe hunting down the real story behind a most-beloved legend. ~ Sarah Ing, All Movie Guide
