In this episode I discuss the history behind St Nicholas, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, and Santa Claus. I briefly discuss the backstory behind these gift-giving, holiday personas. Lastly, I read part of the introduction to The Lost Years of Santa Claus, a book of Santa's lost tales that recounts important stories and fills in gaps within Santa's history.
