Santa Claus, legendary bringer of gifts at Christmas. He is generally depicted as a man with a white beard, dressed in a red suit trimmed with white, and driving a sleigh full of toys drawn through the air by eight reindeer. Santa is said to visit on Christmas Eve, entering houses through the chimney to leave presents under the Christmas tree and in the stockings of all good children. Santa was said to be accompanied at times by Black Peter, an elf whose job was to whip the naughty children.
The fully detailed modern image of Santa Claus plays a part in Christmas celebrations around the world. People are reminded of Santa Claus through advertising, greeting cards, decorations, and the annual appearance of Santas in department stores and shopping malls. Children write letters to Santa Claus and set out milk and cookies on Christmas Eve as a snack for Santa.
