The History of Santa Claus

Have you ever wondered how and why Christmas came to be associated with jolly old Santa Claus? In keeping with my holiday goal to raise my laziness to sloth-like proportions, I will allow the following video to explain how Sinterklaas, Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas, and Kris Kringle figure into the history of that portly, good-natured fellow who satisfies our materialistic appetites each December. Happy Holidays, everyone!
