Answer 3

from a man who's nam was st.nichcolas

Answer:

Like the superpositioning of Christmas on the winter solstice to allow converts to maintain a winter celebration, Santa Claus was regifted from Norse and Germanic traditions.

In Norse Mythology, Odin's magical eight-legged steed Sleipnir was capable of bearing him through the air and to and from the land of the dead. Odin, each winter at Yule, would launch a great hunt with fellow gods and slain warriors.

Little children would stuff their boots full of carrots, straw and sugar for Odin's flying horse to eat and set them near the chimney at night. Odin, who like Santa is described as an old, bearded, mysterious man, would reward them for this kindness by leaving gifts or candy in place of Sleipnir's food.

The Dutch used Odin and his horse to base St. Nicholas and his horse on. They then brought the tradition ot America when they colonized it.
