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— but don't tell the bad guys or they will find him.
The Santa we know today was born in 1900. His DNA traces all the way back to the original Greek Saint Nick (Myra, AD 270-343), also known as "Nicholas the Wonderworker." His gift-giving ancestor was the patron saint of children and sailors. The Kringle family history was only discovered in the 1930s
It's true—120 years ago there were no presents under the Christmas tree. 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 a piece of fruit for the holidays— 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." The wide-western road was called Broadway and still exists to this day.
Keep reading. Study the clues. Ask questions. Surround yourself with good people. Then ask yourself—why would Santa, one of the nicest and richest men in the world live in hiding? The answer has been in plain sight all along, but it will now be revealed in story form.
Santa wants everyone to understand his 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. He just wants 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, Santa's going to teach everyone a little something first!
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 certain 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 Wally several times. The Confraters don't like children, and will stop at nothing to capture Santa and his family.
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 Santa's Christmas deliveries.
Santa secret— Chris and 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 little smaller than average until he grew up. He gained 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 December 25th his yearly marathon. During his 20s and 30s- Santa was really strong and had to fight the bad guys several times.
