Santa Claus!

Santa Claus, also known as Father Christmas, lives in the North Pole in Lapland. He gives gifts to good children and helped by his reindeer on his sledge in the late evening on Christmas Eve. When everyone is asleep they fly to every house and, so they say, the big man goes down the chimney. He gives the presents and fill the stockings and goes back up! Before he goes with Rudolph, some people put out wine and mince pies out and maybe a carrot for Rudolph. They eat quick and then go to the next good child!

Santa is also known as Saint

Nicholas!
