He sees you when you are waking, he knows when you are asleep, and he puts your name on a list. 

No, I’m not talking about an omnipresent surveillance state, I’m of course talking about Santa Claus.

If you think of Santa, you probably have a very firm idea of what he looks like, but how did this identity get developed? And where did all the lore around him come from?


Learn more about the history of Santa Claus and how his legend came to be, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
