You know, I hate sounding like a broken record but...
[Nikola sighs as he pulls his phone further away to show off an apartment decorated for a holiday he knows nothing about. All around his kitchen table are books that range from children's Christmas books to books discussing Christmas to even the King Jame's bible which he found somewhere. He's been trying to do a little research and really, he's just gotten himself more confused.]
What I don't understand is why is there a holiday celebrating some baby's birth in the desert that somehow translates to the fact that for one night some jolly fat man in a red suit is allowed to break into people's homes through their fireplace and leave questionable presents for those that live in the home.
Or why people try to appease this man with milk and cookies and what makes it okay for him to determine what child is nice or naughty. Isn't something like that supposed to be the parent's job? Or why this holiday requires lights and a dead tree covered in trinkets.
[...There is a LOT Nikola doesn't understand about this. ]
Perhaps I'm missing something here, but, I really could use a civilized explanation..
[He pauses for a moment.]
And Rose, unless you're being serious, please don't try and tell me one of your ridiculous holiday tales about candy and monsters and one of my coworkers.

[He sighed slightly. Honestly, the mesh of traditions this one holiday represents is leaving him with a slight headache.]
The fat man in red allowed to break into homes for one night. Please explain that to me?

Well -Kris Kingle, Saint Nicholas but more known as Santa Claus - Saint Nicholas was a real person that during the Greek time period on Earth - early on humans still believed that gods caused the sky to change or move the Sun- thar was a man called Saint Nicholas who was known for giving gifts to the poor.
Which Saint Nicholas wasn't breaking into houses at first. But the human law told him he wasn't allowed to be generous - which sequaciously caused Saint Nickolas to break into the houses of the poor to leave them gifts.
Then Santa's looks and flying reindeer come from the German god - Woden.
Which both, Woden and St. Nickolas were tangled together in The Night Before Christmas poem, which that gave Santa's bright red suit, as well to finalize his character, which in the poem by Clement Clarke Moore; that this figure breaks into the house through the chimney and leaves gifts.
