Mantle/Postion of Santa Claus

Main Information

 

Who is Santa Claus?

  Santa Claus (AKA Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Jolly Old St Nicholas, or just St. Nick) is a legendary and benevolent magical Gift-Giver who brings Joy and Hope to children on Earth or in an Earthlike environment.   He is also a Holiday Entity.   Santa Claus lives at The North Pole with elves, reindeer, and a wife. His toy workshop is sometimes a compound and other times, a city. His home is often powered by Holiday Happiness (Christmas Magic).  

Santa as Chosen Guardian

  In some media, Santa Claus is an individual who has lived for hundreds of years. In others, he is not an individual but rather a continuum of men (rarely women) who inherit the Santa Claus/Father Christmas Mantle.   They are also often chosen. By what is not known. A god or the Spirit of Christmas maybe. Or something else possibly. Sometimes a previous bearer.   This previous bearer may be limited in how much time they are Santa Claus and so they need to find someone to take over. Or it is just that multiple men, by accident or design, called into the position.   This heir would have to have the Christmas Spirit and willingness to take over the job. There may be some time when both are together so the heir can learn about being Santa.  

Santa as the Son and Heir to Throne (Children of Santa)

  Santa Claus is a position/title that’s passed from father to son. It is known that The Clauses are Royalty of Christmas as declared in The Book of Claus and Christmastime, an ancient tome of laws. In there, it goes on to say that if they have multiple children then the eldest son (Male Primogeniture) becomes Santa.   If there are no sons, Santa may choose a successor or let his eldest daughter be Santa. Whichever it is, the children are trained to inherit the mantle.    

Royal Objects of Christmas

  The Royal Objects of Christmas refers to these items of significance important to Christmas Eve (the Christmas Sleighs, Santa’s Bag, the Santa Suits, reindeer equipage, and others).   Santa’s Suit is often also said to be made from the coat the original St. Nicholas wore all those years ago. This is the Royal Regalia of Claus and Christmas. The dress Mrs. Claus wears is green to her husband’s red suit.   Santa’s Toy Bag (and the other names it goes by) is said to be from Jesus’s swaddling cloth. And there’s another legend that says it is a magical bag created for Santa Claus by immortal beings.   The First Christmas Sleigh was said to be made from wood of a magical forest somewhere.  

Christmas Magic/Holiday Happiness

  Christmas Magic is an infinitely powerful force derived from the enchanted Spirit of Christmas. It is responsible for Santa’s Mission continually being successful on Christmas Eve.   Christmas Magic is a natural resource created by human nature and it is itself a consciousness or living intelligent entity. The magic entity can act on its own and withdraw its support at any time. A subtype is "reality as the consensus", where the fabric of the universe is created or stabilized by what people in it believe.   Example: Everyday acts of Love and Hope and Peace/Human Collective Consciousness and Enchanted Spirit of Christmas   Christmas Magic is often combined with Christmas Spirit (often one and the same). Whichever you refer to it as, the explanation is that Humans spread Love, Joy, Hope, and Peace which makes the magic of Christmas.   Many people know that believing in themselves, spending time with loved ones and going out to spread kindness and love shows they care and it is this that makes the holiday special.   The Spirit of Christmas is part of The Human Collective Consciousness (HCC) as a Holiday Spirit. This spiritual network of the deep sub-consciousness of humankind that endures as everyday acts of Love and Joy and Hope, both big and little, that become mystical energy to power the North Pole Kingdom and Santa’s Flight around the Globe on Christmas Eve.   Christmas Magic is used by Santa’s Staff or Scepter. This and any other objects are often known as talismans. The Santa Claus Position is often seen as Nicholas with a scepter/staff or amulet. This is because he accesses the Christmas Spirit through his staff/scepter and other magical objects.
