The Kringle family has always been a mystery. But now, their 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 Claus sometimes has an "—e" or why Chris is often Kris.
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" who was the patron saint of children (and sailors). This genetic information was discovered in the 1930s during the Great Depression.
Sadly, 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 when families ate meals and gathered in large groups. Children only received a penny (or maybe a piece of fruit)—and that's if they were good.
... he wanted to change Christmas forever. Family and friends received gifts if they were NICE and treated others with RESPECT. His parents taught him, "It's better to give than to receive," so he delivered the first present in history to HIS BROTHER without anyone knowing. It was Chris Kringle's 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 wide North-South running road, that's Broadway—and still exists to this day.
Most adults don't know Santa has an older brother. His adopted best friend WALLY has been kept secret for years—and for good reason. Ask yourself, why would Chris Kringle, one of the nicest boys in the world keep his big brother a mystery? The answer has been in plain sight all along, and their story will amaze you.
Chris and Wally want everyone to understand their message of WORLD PEACE. 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 all of us to love each other—and be nice.
Hold On! Slow down! Patience is a virtue. Similar to understanding how the human brain works, grasping "everything" about the Kringle Brothers will take some time. Sit back and relax. All the information will be out soon. Chris and Wally would like to teach everyone, especially children, how to be a good person 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 24-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 Abraham Lincoln & John F. Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, Jesus Christ, Mahatma Gandhi, and others.
Do you know what's happened to the above-mentioned peaceful people? Sadly, all of them have been killed because they believed in something. That's why Chris and Wally have to live in hiding at the North Pole. They know the bad guys are trying to find them.
All around the world, there is a certain group of men who call themselves CONFRATERS. They don't want peace on this planet. They've been in power since ancient times and will kill anyone who stands in their way. These men don't like children and will stop at nothing to control our lives. They are the most secretive society in history.
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 deliveries a yearly marathon. During his 20s and 30s—Santa was very strong and had to fight the bad guys several times.
