He evolved to what he is now from the many sources depending on where you are, your beliefs or your religion as these could be what your parents believed in too. If you were from Greece, he could have been based on Sinterklaas, their traditional Winter holiday figure.
If you are a Catholic, you probably believe that he was based on the 4th century Greek Christian bishop called Saint Nicholas of Myra.
If you believe in mythology, Norse has Santa Claus is not just totally a product of imagination. If you believe in mythology, Norse has Odin who was believed to have been generous in giving gifts. Lastly, there is Father Christmas that was immortalized not created as the character has been in existence since the 17th century by Charles Dickens as Ghost of the Christmas Present in his novel, The Christmas Carol.
So this book Santa Lives! He is also a co-author of Yiddish with Dick and Jane. All of those to tickle your funny bone. There are parts that I laughed at but some are very American for my taste. The center of Christmas for me should be the babe in the manger and not the big fat guy in a red suit. The birth of the baby that gives hope to mankind is what the season is all about and not the gifts that children all over the worlds dream of having under the tree. I think this misplaced idea of Christmas is the offshoot of materialism that seems to be a worldwide dilemma. Everything is about money and its promise of happiness.
However, this book is preaching neither about religion nor morality.
Weiner only uses the idea of Santa Claus to elicit laughers or smiles from its reader. So, I set the misplaced emphasis of Christmas aside and tried to enjoy the book that Weiner used to argue for the existence of Santa Claus. He used five different arguments: 1. Ontological - we imagine that he is a perfect Santa, so he must exist! According to Ontology, which is part of the major branch of Philosophy called Metaphysics, something or someone can exist if we imagine that to be part of a scheme or hierarchy.
So, if Santa Claus is perfect as part of the whole idea of Christmas, then he must exist!
