Certainly Christmas Trees- Oh, Tannenbaum - and decorations, and Santa was originally Klaus, ( German abbreviation for Nicholas) not Claus.

KevinC Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 St. Nicholas was a 4th. century Christian bishop in the city of Myra, now in modern day Turkey. So I guess he's Turkish, and runs a kebab house during the quiet summer months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
