Authentic Santa Claus Costume Search

Santa ClausI’ve read some pretty creepy things about Santa Claus. Once I even saw a picture of a toothy, evil-fairy kind of Santa at the Winterthur Chrismas events. It seems, however, that Santa is based on a real priest  who earned his way to Catholic sainthood. Regardless of others’ feelings on saints and religion and God, I think it’s pretty cool that one person could inspire such a timeless impact on the world. I think this happened for Santa Claus because the world needed a Santa.Today I was at a SEPTA station waiting for a train. I saw a weary traveler–literally a confused and rotund elf, probably a guy who didn’t make the cut to be a Santa-poser in the mall. He was so lost and probably had just finished working and wanted to get home to his family. I felt bad for him. I think he would have made a good Santa, for the record.The above picture is what Santa looks like to me. What is your vision of Santa?
