Santa’s List Day
Are you curious about who’s on the Naughty List? Or who made it onto The Nice List for the Christmas celebrations? Santa’s List Day is the best day to find out!
Santa Claus is said to have first appeared in Turkey around the 4th century BC. According to legend, Saint Nicholas was a religious man who gave gifts to children and showed kindness.
Nicholas became the patron saint for many countries. However, the Netherlands appears to have been the birthplace of many cultural innovations that lead to Santa Claus. Every year, on the feast of Saint Nicholas, parents would leave gifts for their children. They assumed the gifts were from St. Nick.
This folklore evolved into the American Santa Claus. Partially from Clement Mark Moore’s 1823 poem, “Twas the Night before Christmas”, the idea of Santa bringing gifts might have come about.
Santa’s List was created some years later. Although no one knows the exact origin of the idea, it could be related to the Santa Claus song “Santa Claus is Comin‚Äô to Town”. The song was originally recorded in 1934 and has been covered by many artists.
