By Santa Claus

We all know him as the big, jolly man who makes all of our Christmas dreams come true by putting our most wanted gifts under the tree. We set out milk and cookies for him and eagerly await his arrival every Christmas eve. But did you ever stop and wonder where exactly he came from?

The Current OC: “So Santa, so many people love and adore you, but most don’t know your background, why don’t you tell the viewers about yourself?”
Santa: “Well let’s see, I was born around 280 AD, so that makes me pretty old. I was known as a monk and I guess people started to recognize me for my kindness. Then people started to call me “the protector of children”. Whatever that means!”
