Santa secrets for Kids (and some adults)...

---

A: "Chris" Kringle was born in the year 1900. In the year 2022, he'll be 122 years old. According to some sources, he should live to the year 2200. Other scientists believe that he could live forever, based on his unique DNA from Ancestry.com

Santa Secret: Yes, those are turkeys pulling his sleigh before he met the reindeer.

A: Not any time soon. There are reasons why Santa could live a very long time, like Noah from the Bible. Similar to how we put fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator to make them last longer, this is why Santa moved to the chilly North Pole—so he can live longer! 

Santa Secret: The Kringle brothers claim these are the keys to living a long time; eat healthy, stretch your muscles, get regular exercise and plenty of rest. Also— don't let stress bother you.

A: Yes, Santa's beard is real. But he does trim it after Christmas and grows a new one out each year.  

Santa Secret: During the summertime most people wouldn't recognize Santa. He's thinner, his beard is shorter, and he doesn't always wear his famous red suit. Many people have seen Santa at a sporting event and didn't know it was him.

A: Yes. Christopher Kringle possesses a unique brain like Albert Einstein. Recent MRI shows a larger than normal brainstem, with higher functioning cranial nerves. This powerful area of the nervous system gives Santa a 20-30% better functioning SENSORY SYSTEM. This "defect" in his brain allows for this "heightened awareness." This is how he knows which children have been good— or bad.

A: Yes. During World War II, after Chris Kringle officially became Santa Claus, nine-hundred-and eleven decoy Santa's were asked to help—they work for The North Pole Company. However, the real Santa is still out there every December. Most children have seen him— but very few can tell the difference.

Santa Secret: There is only one way to tell the real Chris Kringle apart from the Mall Santa's— and that's by looking at his hands.

A; No. He's just incredibly smart and can remember everything. Wally claims Chris has a photographic memory. As stated before, Santa's higher functioning brainstem allows for a 20-30% increase in neurological and sensory functionality. This allows him to see a little better in the dark, listen to conversations a tad farther away, and have a super-sense of who is naughty or nice. He does have a unique brain, like his friend Albert Einstein. Certain smells and tastes bother him. His mother claims he can also hear dog whistles.

A; No. But he's the real brains behind Santa and Christmas. Wally runs the family business and has never made a bad decision his whole life. He knows the meaning of protecting his younger, smart, naive brother.  

While equally intelligent in different ways, Wally knows how "Wall Street" got its name. He loves Christopher and knows their importance to humankind—working together as a team. Think "Yin and Yang" when the two brothers work together—they can do anything!

A: Yes. He and Wally started a handyman business out of their garage as teenagers. They invented a "gift" that became a worldwide sensation during the Roaring 1920s. Santa is the inventor and scientist, while Wally runs the financials and knows how to market ideas. They strike it rich several times in different economic sectors. They find Pirate's gold, diamonds, lost art, and rare artifacts. They own more land than most people know. While they are extremely wealthy, you'd never know it because they don't want anyone to know.

A: The Elves make all the toys. Santa and Wally supply all the raw materials, tools, machines, and technical details for the most advanced factory in the world. Mrs. Claus keeps everyone organized, especially the Elves. Christopher learned about mass production when he was a boy working at the Hershey factory and helping Henry Ford with the assembly line. Santa's  Toy Factory is considered to be the most productive facility in the world.

A: Chris Kringle first meets his wife Norene during the Roaring 1920s. She's a flapper, or a dancer, but a horrible singer and "sings like a man," according to sources.  Chris and Wally have to keep her under secret protection because they know the bad guys want to find her. The Confraters have tried to capture Mrs. Claus several times, which is part of the reason they secretly move her up to the North Pole. There is only one woman in the world who can deal with the Kringle brothers, and its Norene Williams, who oddly has the same maiden last name as Wally.

A: Yes! Very much so. Both have a musical gift and have been known to sit down at a piano for hours. They both play numerous instruments and have been inspiring people for decades. The 1908 hit song, "Black and White Rag," was named in their honor. The black and white brothers have influenced hundreds if not thousands of musicians around the world over the last 120 years. 

Kringle brother secret - there is hidden meaning here, but you'll have to wait and see why. Real music is used in the story.
