Santa Claus, also known as Saint Nicholas, is a symbol of Christmas. He is an old man with a white beard and wears a red suit. It is said that the original image of Santa Claus comes from the traditional Dutch character 'Sinterklaas', a mysterious figure who wears a red robe and a white hat and gives gifts to children on Christmas Eve.

Over time, the image of Santa Claus gradually evolved into what we know today. He is depicted as a kind old man wearing a red robe and white fur, riding a sleigh and carrying a bag of Christmas gifts.

The modern image of Santa Claus first appeared in 19th century America when some writers and illustrators began to create works depicting Santa Claus as a kind old man who brings gifts and joy to children.

Now, Santa Claus has become an important symbol of Christmas celebrations around the world, and his image and story are widely spread, bringing joy and warmth to people.
