Was Santa Claus one of the vikings?
No, Santa is a fake character, in which parents tell their children to get them to behave, so that ''Santa'' won't put them in the naughty list. But that is not the only use of Santa, he also can be used to get a child to have a good Christmas holiday, until they discover the sad truth. So, actually Santa is a figured character who is very kind and is used in many stories for children. Although he is not real, he is very fun, but no, he is not a vikings god, which is another common mistake people make.
