I think when you get to a certain age, a very very old age, that's the point where you have to pick one weird thing to dedicate the rest of your life to... Unfortunately for Santa, that life has been going on for thousands of years without an end.

Like most public domain superheroes I've covered here, this character doesn't have an origin story and was just spawned fully formed. His deal is a very oddly specific one that I feel the comic creators spent a bit too long thinking of, so let's break this down.

Santa is an immortal old man with an undefined connection to Odin and Saint Nicholas. Sometimes he has a wife, sometimes he doesn't. He lives in the North Pole (a housing choice that gets worse every year) - and so do his workers. Oh yeah, he has workers in the form of Elves (the very short kind), and they work all year round in his factory to make toys. Why? Well, Santa's main thing is that, on Christmas Eve, he goes out and delivers toys to everyone around the globe. He doesn't deliver them in the normal way a postman might deliver something, no no no - Santa BREAKS INTO YOUR HOUSE and leaves the gift there. Sometimes he even drinks your milk and steals your cookies. What a prick.

You may be asking right now "wait, how does one man deliver so many toys in one night", and the answer makes even less sense if I'm being honest. He travels around the world via sleigh. How does it cross the seas? Oh, it's pulled by flying reindeer. Sometimes there are eight, sometimes nine (though the ninth one is under copyright). How do you even come up with this stuff?

To conclude: Happy Holidays!
