Chris Kringle's life has always been a complete mystery. Now— his secrets are ready to be shared with the world. Santa's birth name was Christopher Clause Kringle and he's ready to inform the public about his life. Every "Santa Secret" will be answered— including why his name sometimes has an "—e"
The Santa we know today was born in 1900. His DNA traces all the way back to the original Greek Saint Nic of Myra (AD 270-343), also known as "Nicholas the Wonderworker." His gift-giving ancestor was the patron saint of children and sailors. This information was discovered in the 1930s during the Great Depression.
It's true—120 years ago there were no presents under Christmas trees. There were no credit cards, no shopping centers— or even toy stores. Christmas was a holy day where families gathered and ate meals in large groups. Kids only received a penny or maybe a piece of fruit— and that's if they were lucky.
... he wanted to change Christmas forever. Family and neighborhood friends received gifts if they were good. His parents taught him "It's better to give than to receive," so he delivered the first presents under the tree in 1907— without anyone knowing. It was his secret for years...
Most people don't remember Manhattan was called New Amsterdam until 1665. Santa's dad Luke found this early map of the Dutch fort. Initially, this area was protected by a north row of wooden posts which is still known as "Wall Street." See the N-S wide-western road, that's called Broadway— and still exists to this day.
Most people never knew Santa had an older brother? His best friend Wally has been kept secret for years— and for good reason. Ask yourself—why would Chris Kringle, one of the nicest and richest men in the world keep his big brother a secret? The answer has been in plain sight all along, and his story will amaze you.
Chris and Wally want everyone to understand their message of treating people with respect. It doesn't matter where you live. It doesn't matter what religion you believe in. It doesn't matter the color of your hair, the shade of your skin, or the color of your eyes. They just want us all to love each other—and be nice.
Learning takes time. Patience is a virtue. Similar to understanding how the human brain works, grasping "everything" will take awhile. Sit back, relax, you'll have all the information soon enough. However, THE KRINGLE BROTHERS are going to teach everyone a little something first! Several BOOKS & MOVIES are close.
A: After World War II, Santa divided the globe up into 8 Drop Zones. This is where he hides Christmas presents in secret locations. Deliveries start in Russia and end in Hawaii and Alaska. It takes approximately 36-hours (including the rotation of the earth) to complete this yearly mission. It's a simple process— similar to what FedEx uses, where gifts "absolutely, positively have to be there overnight." Santa and his company have used this "Drop Zone Theory" since 1955, with the increase of children during the baby boom.
A: Chris Kringle's life mission is about creating equality, eliminating hate, and eventually obtaining world peace. Others in history have attempted these same objectives—President's Abraham Lincoln & John F. Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, Jesus Christ, Mahatma Gandhi and others .
Santa lives in hiding because BAD people don't want him doing nice things for others. A certain group of men— who call themselves Confraters— have tried to kill Santa and his family several times. The Confraters don't like children, and will stop at nothing to capture Santa and his loved ones.
A: Short answer—No. Millions of families don't have chimneys. Santa will use them if necessary but always likes to use the path of least resistance when entering homes to be quick. His job is all about speed and preparation. Little do people know how much planning goes into the December 25th deliveries.
Santa secret— Chris and his older brother Wally are practical jokers. They like to tell people Santa "always" uses the chimney, but this isn't always the case.
A: No. As a child, Santa was a smaller than average until he grew up. He gained all his weight once he got married and moved up north. Like an Eskimo, the human body naturally stores more energy while living in cold climates— compared to living in warmer areas of the world.
Santa secret—Chris Kringle isn't as heavy as you think. He's actually very fit and considers his 36-hour deliveries his yearly marathon. During his 20s and 30s— Santa was very strong and had to fight the bad guys several times.
