Santa Claus is based on several Christmas legends from various countries including Father Christmas in England and Sinterklaas in Holland, who is based on Saint Nicholas, an early Bishop who was known for providing gifts for the needy. There are several legends concerning Christmas and evil, like Befana in Italy, the Christmas witch, although she is not really evil, but she certainly can be. I think most of the evil legends are connected to pre-Christian mid-year legends.
