One of the most recognizable symbols of Christmas, besides the Christmas tree and the star, is Santa Claus. While the character is fictitious (reportedly loosely based on the life St. Nicholas, patron saint of children), Santa Claus is real in the minds of our young children. And that simply adds to the wonder of Christmas!
