What does Santa Claus mean to you?
Santa Claus is known to practically everyone on the face of the earth in some form or another. You could ask every single person what Santa Clause means to them and you probably won't get the same answer twice. Personally, I remember the Christmases of my childhood when every relative would go to Grandma and Grandpa's house to celebrate the holidays. Virtually every wall in the house was adorned with Christmas cards from the past and present. Christmas streamers were hanging everywhere and the Christmas tree was decorated with ornaments from each and every family. To me, Santa Claus represents a time of getting together with your loved ones and celebrating memories of times gone by, hopes for the future, forgiving and forgetting menial wrongs and enjoying each others company. Oh yeah, and the presents are a bonus!

Miracle on 34th Street
Miracle on 34th Street (1947) TV Spot
Miracle on 34th Street (1947) TV Spot "At the Macy's Department Store Thanksgiving Day parade, the actor playing Santa is discovered to be drunk by a whiskered old man. Doris Walker, the no nonsense special events director, persuades the old man to take his place. The old man proves to be a sensation and is quickly recruited to be the store Santa at the main Macy's outlet. While he is successful, Ms. Walker learns that he calls himself Kris Kringle and he claims to be the actual Santa Claus. Despite reassurances by Kringle's doctor that he is harmless, Doris still has misgivings, especially when she has cynically trained herself, and especially her daughter, Susan, to reject all notions of belief and fantasy. And yet, people, especially Susan, begin to notice there is something special about Kris and his determination to advance the true spirit of Christmas amidst the rampant commercialism around him and succeeding in improbable ways. When a raucous conflict with the store's cruelly incompetent psychologist erupts, Kris finds himself held at Bellevue where, in despair, he deliberates fails a mental examination to ensure his commitment. All seems lost until Doris' friend, Fred Gaily, reassure Kris of his worth and agrees to represent him in the fight to secure his release. To achieve that, Fred arranges a formal hearing in which he argues that Kris is sane because he is in fact Santa Claus. What ensues is a bizarre hearing in which people's beliefs are reexamined and put to the test, but even so, it's going to take a miracle for Kris to win."

Origins of Santa Claus
One version of the story states that Saint Nicholas of Myra was the inspiration for the modern day version of Santa. He was a 4th century Greek bishop living in Turkey. He gave very generous gifts to the poor and was a devout Christian. There are other versions out there, but this one seems to be the most prominent one.
