∙ 10y agoThe jovial, sleigh-riding Santa as we know him first became popular in the early 1800s - in Clement Moore's 1822 A Visit From Saint Nicolaus, the cheerful Christmas giver is described as a jolly elf in a reindeer-powered sleigh. The sleigh itself was a common form of winter transportation then; putting Santa into a magic sleigh pulled by reindeer was a perfectly logical, believable description of a legendary man.
