Santa Claus lore

Different myths describe different homes for Santa Claus. In some stories, his main family house is near the beautiful and magnificent Northern Lights region (Aurea Borealis countries) in the polar north of the world. One book describes, "as time went by, more and more was added to the Santa Claus legend. Thomas Nast, a 19th century cartoonist, did a series of drawings for "Harper's Weekly". Nash's vision of Santa had him living at the North Pole."

In these myths, people from different parts of the world receive gifts. They get gifts for their compassionate polite manners, gentleness, and good deeds towards their family an friends. 

"After the Reformation, the feast and veneration of St. Nicholas were abolished in many countries, and the new figure of the Christmas Man substituted, so that soon the people in those countries forgot St. Nicholas who had once been so dear to them."

"Any kid can tell you where Santa Claus is from—the North Pole. But his historical journey is even longer and more fantastic than his annual, one-night circumnavigation of the globe."

Some stories say Santa has different homes so he can receive mail from different places.
