The Legends Of Santa (Christmas Documentary) | Real Stories

- čas přidán 5. 12. 2018
- Santa's image is almost universally recognisable as one of Christianity's most enduring and popular legends, yet the seemingly timeless jolly old man with his bag of toys, steering his reindeer and sliding down chimneys, is a relatively modern image.
The Legends of Santa shows how today's image of Father Christmas is a culmination of centuries of history and legend.

It my household, Father Christmas even brought the tree! Little did I realize that my mum could not afford a tree and would wait until Christmas eve when she could go to the lot and get a scruffy little tree for a dollar! When we woke up, there was the little tree all decked out with ornaments, construction paper chains that we had made, tinsel, and a cardboard star wrapped in tin foil. It was the most magical thing we could possibly imagine. Because my mum could not afford much for gifts, our stockings were the most fun part. They always included an orange, candy, pencils, an eraser, shoe laces, mostly things we needed for school. As a joke, she would put in a piece of coal to signal that Father Christmas had been watching and knew the naughty deeds we had done throughout the year. This is a custom I continued with my sons until they left home. It was a glorious time at Christmas, with the feeling of the season pervading the day. I have come to eschew the commercialization of the day, especially with children being overloaded with unnecessary piles of toys and teens getting thousands of dollars worth of electronics, complaining if they don't get the right thing.
I couldn't agree more. We didn't have much money either, and there were 6 of us.. But we couldn't wait to get the tree up Everything was all sparkling , And so very powerful., What's this song at the Santa Coming we've enough to get us All excited. It was the most beautiful an exciting time of the year., So peaceful, too.. I sure do miss those days.. God bless you. Teresa.
I miss my kids, having that sweet innocence and excitement, waiting for Santa. Driving home after church on Christmas eve, they would always, be scanning the skies for Santas sleigh. Such treasured memories for me as a Dad.
This video makes me smile. Your family is a blessing. I never wanted to lie to our children so we never did Santa. I also didn't want them to think I lied about Jesus and wonder if He is also made up. We try to make everything point to Jesus during this time as best as we can. We have done other years without a Christmas tree, but this year decided to get one. We got a Jesse tree ornament set and are using that to keep the focus on all that God has done for us. A friend just shared with me how she shows how the Jesse tree ornaments and their family ornaments show how Jesus weaves our story into His story of the Bible. We used a red tree skirt this year covered in a white one to remind us of our sin that was scarlet and now covered by him is white as snow. We talk about how this lush green tree can symbolize God in all His glory would come to die and just like the tree would be stripped bare to become a cross for Him to carry. He too was stripped bare for us. We have each kid write letters to each member of our family and put them in each family members stocking. We spend Christmas reading them. This year someone gave us an idea to make a stocking for Jesus and write a letter to him of something you want to give to him or work on. You can revisit this throughout the year and make a new one and check how you are doing with the goal. We like to celebrate that day with a birthday cake for Jesus and we try to serve others during this time as a gift for Him.
I love this with the PERFECT narrator for a documentary.
One day my son returned from school looking quite sad and said that some children had told him Santa didn't exist and that it was the parents who really brought the presents for Christmas. I asked him: Do those children who said that have an imagination? He replied: not really. To believe in Santa, I said, people require to have an imagination because he is a magical creature who once had lived in Turkey under the name of Saint Nicholas. He was a good person who used to give presents to children and help those in need to mark the birth of Christ. And because he had been such a good person, all the parents around the world carried the spirit of St Nicholas in their hearts. For this reason, they buy presents for their kids in his name. My son, who was still quite small, seemed quite pleased with the explanation.
You need to listen to the dark origins of Santa and his elves by the messenger of the name
Lmao don’t disrespect your child’s intelligence by lying to them 🤣🤣🤣 I always knew the truth and I’m not gonna treat my kids like idiots
@@barbarabaker5067 I love his channel
Santa is evil and so is Christmas. Santa is not a “good person”. Rearrange the letters and you get Satan
🤦pagans
I'm from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I learned the truth about Santa when I was 11 years old, now as a 35 year old I still believe in Santa Claus, Papa Noel, Chris Kringle, (+ many other names) and hope to share the magical time of Christmas with my Nephew's and the rest of my family. Merry Christmas everyone! 🎅
He's not real it's about Jesus Christ not Santa ok
@@MinaMongoose55we know Jesus isn't real
Of course Saint Nicholas exists! He lives in all of us. Santa will never die as long as each of us remember love and kindness toward others.
HAHAHA be careful idolatry starts like this. thats how over time they started idolatrycing Jesus.
When I was little I always believed that Santa was real and every year my dad would always remind me and my sister to write our lists every year and we would always drop them off at the mailbox but overtime me and my sister started to face the reality that our parents would buy the presents but it’s fun that every now and then my parents still write on the presents each year “From: Santa” which always warms my heart because no matter how old we are it’s always good to remember our fun childhood memories :)
childhood lies
One year my father gave me a Christmas card...... cheapskate
@@jodyb4048 YOU probably had a bad childhood
I put "From: Santa" on my dogs Christmas presents! Call me strange if you want to but I do it for my own fun! Also the dogs enjoy it!
i loved this. as a Professional Santa it was lovely to see my history, as a catholic I can see the value behind St Nicholas, and in Santas growing he becomes a jolly old man. Well done.
He probably wasn't a pedophile like most fake Santas though 🎅🎅🎅🎅💀💀💀🚼🚹🚺🚻🚻🚻🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🐹🐹🌲
I hear you, sir. I also am a professional Santa Claus, as well as a confirmed Catholic. Known in the more urban parts of Utah, and in the wide open spaces of Wyoming. I have studied the legend and history of St Nicholas, including the etymology of the name itself. Being blessed with privilege of grandchildren makes me a better Santa, and being born on the Winter Solstice enhances the feeling I think. May the spirit of the season of Christmas bring you the joy you bring to children as Sinterklauss, St Nicholas, Kris Kringle, Santa Claus, Father Christmas, etc
Well, they left out two versions: in Switzerland, st. Nikolaus comes from the dark forests, accompanied by Schmutzli ( translatable as the filthy man, I suppose), and a donkey who carries the bags with the presents. The good kids get the presents, the bad kids get put in the bags and taken away into the dark forest. Being the fearless animal and nature lover even as a five year old, I always hoped they would take me with them so I could get to see how they lived in the wild. Sadly, it never happened.
The other version they neglected in this documentary is hogswatch. Ah well...
Will you all please pray for my finance Mark. He was admitted to the hospital 13 days ago. He is being moved today to a rehab center. Please pray for us.
Our prayers are with you Miss Robinson, for the timely recovery of your future husband. Just as the living God was miraculously made into flesh, may the Blessings of Christmas, through the workings of the His Holy Spirit, grant healing to your betrothed. Have faith that God’s Will may be revealed to us His Servants, so that strength and health uphold us during this time we celebrate the birth of our Savior, and throughout the New Year. May your’s and Mark’s many Christmas’ be merry and bright for years and years to come!
My family were all big fans of Coco Cola it was and is our favorite soft drink. We had a bottling plant where my dad went to when I was a little girl back in the 50’s where they sold a big red metal box meant to carry iced cokes to picnics but it was our tradition to always bring it out on Christmas filled with our cold cokes. It was one of our Christmas traditions.
I really enjoyed this documentary, esp about the wise men in Spain and the Spanish colonies. Very interesting.
Yeah, I thought that was pretty cool.
Love this doc! No drama. No aliens. Easy to watch, but very informative. The part about the drawings at 25:00 was especially interesting
Still lies.
You heard what you wanted hear ..
Good luck on your life journey.
It was nice seeing all the different Santa traditions from all over the world.
Watching this on the Winter Solstice 2019!
I know Santa isn't alive anymore but I still believe in him. I know he "isn't real" but I still hold on to that part of my childhood because I've been obsessed with Christmas my entire life. I don't care much about presents, just the idea makes me happy.
연인park he’s still alive god put him on earth for Christmas and to make kids happy and god made him and only him be the only being that will never die
I feel the same way, Christmas is the best time of year for me!
You said it perfectly
Same for me too.
연인park as long as we care for others and give people the gift of kindness.... Santa Claus will live forever!
Merry Christmas! 🎄
I believe in Father Christmas 🎄 & I’m from England.
That's because you are braindead.. 💀💀💀💀💀🐹🐹💀

Lol why not! People believe in an invisible deity so knock yourself out 🎅🏽🎅🏽🎅🏽🎅🏽🎄🎄🎄
I’m in USA and I believe!

When I was little my dad & mom would tell my 2 eldest brothers & I that Santa had a special elf named Twinkle Toes who would keep watch over us 3 all year long & if he felt we were good the whole year he'd tell Santa & Santa would tell his elf that if we were good to leave a special candy cane on our bed. I remember my second eldest brother didn't get his candy cane one year. But I'd get one every year. The last one I got it was December 24, 1991. I was 20. Even though my dad knew I stopped believing in Santa when I was 10 years old. I never stopped believing in the spirit of Yule for my religious beliefs or the joy of Christmas for my dad's religious beliefs.
I never did belived in such thing,but i sure do have the Christmas spirit.BLESS
It's so nice that people want to learn about me. Hope you're all ready next month.
BELIEVE 🎅🏻
No don't believe!! Watch the truth here on youtube!! czcams.com/video/i-ileaWlJS8/video.html
Love this documentary. Funny that the narrator, Sir Richard Attenborough, had also played Santa in a movie. It must have been great fun to him to do tjis. RIP
It was David Attenborough in the film.
Santa is in all of us
Not everyone is a pedophile.. Soooo
I portray Santa and I love this!
I could never get sick of watching this documentary !
My little sister and I had a great childhood with Santa, but I found out the truth about Santa by accident when I found all of my gifts stored in my parents basement when I was around 7 yrs old. I'm 19 now but I still love the story and the spirit of Santa Claus at Christmas. My sister just turned 10 and she still believes. I just can't bring myself to tell her that he isn't real. I love seeing kids faces light up and get excited about Santa Claus.
The believers and non believers. Young and Old still look to the Sky on Christmas Eve. With hopes of confirming a existence or not so much so. In a World where we have to see something for it to be real proof that it exist. Is it so difficult to believe in the idea that physical not seeing something , but yet feeling it's presents. I have been endorsing the Jolly Ole Elf known as Santa Claus for 42 years now. I know what it does to people believers or not. It takes you to a simpler place and time when it was ok to believe and feel the excitement and the innocent of it. For the Young and the Elderly believers. I have seen it all I have been in Nursing Homes when sadly the person . Can't remember their name , but knows who Santa is. Would not
that make you question his existence ? Children are taught to believe and will question and investigate to determine the truth. Love is something that can't always be seen. But yet we all have the power to give it. Whether we chose to or not determines it's existence. Santa is Love and the Idea of Kindness. I know what he is to me and it makes me a better person for believing .
Thinks that’s how I found out
Saint means Satanist and Nicholas is NICOLACIYM (An ancient group of magicians and witches from the Old Testament). HERE is some documentation on CHRISTMAS TREES to show you some TRUTH about what is going on with that particular Winter Solstice witches' holiday
Jeremiah (Yirmeyahu) Chapter 10 verse 1 through 7
10
1 Hear ye the Word which YAHUAH speaks unto you, O house of Yisra'el:
2 Thus says YAHUAH, lEARN not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; For the customs of the people are vain: for one cuts a tree out fo the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold: they fasten it with nails and with hammers that it move not.
5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: They must needs be borne because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good
MEANING - (evidently, people used to believe that these CHRISTMAS TREES were a pagan worship celebration AND that the tree was a living DEITY or DEMONIC ENTITY and the gifts under the tree at night were put there to APPEASE the Devil the night of December 24th. I guess the WINTER SOLSTICE must be the WITCHES next big celebration day or something. Are you going to help them celebrate it? The next morning the kids got to take the "Offering" from the tree back from the DEITY or actually DEVIL being worshipped. THIS is where Christmas TRULY originates from. You are going to be destroyed by YAHUAH if you know about this and keep doing it. Me personally, I'll pass.

Wonderful! Thanks for posting! and a most Merry Christmas!
great programme, disappointed it didn't feature the Celtic Father Christmas/Holly King figure as best personified in A Christmas Carol as The Ghost of Christmas Present
No lie I was 15 till I found out he was fake . It was magical to wake up on Christmas morning to see presents and thinking santa came at night and was in your house it was amazing I was lucky to have a great childhood
15? like years? 15?
Very lucky!!! I pretty much knew there wasn't a Santa Claus from the get go. He kept skipping our house. No tree and no gifts!!! Ho hum...
A. Ortega you got so much luck
@@mbaysden2747 that's sad to hear. its also pretty sad to think he is real up to a year before you're legal to drive a motor vehicle.... 15? nobody told you? were home schooled? have no friends? nobody said "you know he's not real right?" when you'd talk about what you wanted Santa to bring you for Christmas in the high school halls? I mean....15?
Mr. O-Town.. No big deal.. now!!! My father left my mother and us girls when we were little. My mother refusing to except welfare or charity.. worked hard so the money she earned was spent for housing, food, clothing, etc. No money for anything extra. She instilled a good work ethic in us which is better than any gift Santa Claus could ever give us. I now work for American Airlines and my husband is a police officer for the City of Dallas. All worked out great in the end & Christmas is celebrated heavily in our home!!!
This was an AMAZING story!!! Very well edited, nice interviews. I love all the cultures represented.

I love these histories....
I know now but as a child I really love Xmas.
It’s funny how some of the first drawings were of Santa being small! I always in envisioned Santa larger then life!
Santa Claus, or St. Nicholas, or Kris Kringle, whatever you call him, is a symbol of hope, love, and kindness and good cheer in Christmastime.
Its pagan and takes away from the history of christ conception
Amen!
The costumes are amazing and I love the music!
Father Christmas was a wizard who used a time-turner to make it to all the houses to deliver gifts all in one night lol
Well think about it. Have you seen Santa and Dumbledore in the same place?
AND OF COURSE WE WERE TAUGHT THAT SANTA KNOWS IF WE WRE NAUGHTY OR NICE. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT WE DO DAY AND NIGHT. ONLY GOD HAS THAT ABILITY. NOW MY CHILDREN USE ELF ON THE SHELF TO BRAINWASH THEIR CHILDREN TELLING THEM THIS PORCELIN HEADED DOLL IS A SPY FOR SANTA CLAUSE ELF REPORTS CHILDREN 24 HR BEHAVIOR.... BAH HUMBUG...… ALL DECEPTIONS I
And maybe there's a space in the Room of Requirement where he hides all the gifts lol...
@@kellysunserenity4068 Maybe his big sack has an Undetectable Extension Charm on it like Hermione's small, purple, beaded handbag.
@@kellysunserenity4068 The 'elves' that help make the toys, wrap them, write their names on and put them into the bottomless sack are really just House Elves. Santa being from the North Pole just just be a myth to hid the fact he's really at Hogwarts.
No mention of the old English Mr. Christmas traditions. The character that Dickens' ghost of Christmas present was based on. That character was integral to the development of Father Christmas.
Father Christmas??
@@baronweirwulf5221 He was the earlier version of the American Santa Claus
Or Papa Noel from where I’m from. He’s like a Cajun Santa Claus, he rides alligators instead of reindeer
I never believed in Santa Claus and was surprised to hear my classmates truly thought he was real. Growing up my mother told us stories of Saint Nicholas and how he paid the dowry of three sisters so they could marry. Also, we believed heavily in the 3 wise men. We had a nativity on one side of the living room and the 3 wise men figurines would start out on the other side of the living room and would get closer and closer to the nativity scene until they got there on Jan 6th. Then we'd have the Rosca. But that's a whole other story.
We believed in Jesus...and I also believed in Santa until I was six. But I knew Christmas was really for Jesus. But Saint Nick had a heart of gold. And now I work in a Christian daycare. I don't discourage kids who believe but I push that Santa isn't the reason for Christmas
@@yikesgina jesus/ yahusha was not born on the 25th december... nowhere in the bible does it say when he was born or for that matter that we should celebrate his birthday.... read the scriptures... the shepards where out tending to their sheep they would not do this in the winter... more like the spring or summer, lambing season, apply common sense
@@jodyb4048 the fact that he was born to die for us and our sins is enough for me. It doesn't matter when he was actually born to me. Just that he was and that he made the ultimate sacrifice so heaven can one day be my home.
For all those not knowing the origins of 'Black Pete(r)' (Zwart Piet) in the Netherlands; He was introduced in 1850 by Jan Schenkman, who was an abolitionist, in a childrens book he wrote, as a (not so) suble way to share his ideas. Raising his status (by riding a horse for example, and specifically calling him a 'knecht' (paid worker, just as any proffession had them) and portraying him as a normal, decent, equal human being. Later, the clothes were upgraded to the more elaborate and colorful high-society clothes with the puffed sleeves, ruffles/collars etc, again emphasizing his 'value'(yuck..value on people..but you get my drift).
Then there's also the legend of Saint Nicolas (being a patron of children), saving a young black slaveboy and taking him on as a 'knecht' (as said; paid job as a free man). So in that light one could say Black Pete actually is a symbol AGAINST racism.
For the last X-amount of years(7-10 or so I think), Black Pete has already been transformed to a degree, losing the scruff, the big golden earrings, the accent, the bit of submissive attitude towards St.Nicolas, the exaggerated pitchblack+deepred lips (though, personal idea; I'd think it would've been better to keep 'em pitchblack(without the lipstick though), supporting the link to Odin's ravens and some say a link to Krampus, opposed to the brown used by many in later years....yeah, just turn them more into ravens :) ), toning down the outfit.
The last couple of years there's a big discussion in NL, about losing the dark make-up all together (or at the max a few smears to look like chimney-grime), unfortunately becoming quite heated and disrupting the fun for the children during the arrival-parades.
Please, keep reactions civil...and no need to attack me personally, I'm quite neutral in this discussion (as long as it works for the kids I don't care), just wanted to give a bit of background info as I saw a lot of questions about it.
DutchDogMom86 I just heard about peter a year ago. They should just get rid up f him. Coming from an African American.
@@olly2027 I think Zwarte Pete should stay, after all, he is a long-standing tradition and completely harmless. Anyone who feels offended by him should just stay away from the netherlands, just a thought. 🤷🏻♀️
Toon Link true. Just don’t come that time of year.
In America, our society (mainly stemming from The Left) indoctrinate us into believing that black face, for any reason, is wrong; racist; offensive; & insensitive.
They also paint a picture that ONLY white people in America do this.
But here we find evidence that The Left in America is once again, incorrect.
I saw people in this documentary, in Spain....brown-skinned people; people that The Left in America would label as "people of color", wearing black face!
So my question to The Left (The Liberals) in America is this:
Do you think its racist when brown-skinned people in Spain wear black face?....or just when white people wear black face?...
I, personally, see nothing wrong with this tradition.
My advise to anyone who chooses (getting offended is not something that someone "forces" upon an individual.....rather we choose to be, or not to be offended by others).....my advice to anyone who chooses to take offense is this:
Then just don't have any part in what you have chosen to take offense to....& it really is that simple, folks!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to ALL!
Hey! That's really interesting! Racism always ruins everything. I think it's a great story about Black Peter working with Santa. If people worried more about the truth of their own agendas and motives and less about the "hidden" ones they attribute to others, it'd be a better and less-psychotic world to live in.
Worth watching. Good documentary.
I love Santa Claus. In my heart, he is real. It bothers me tremendously, however, when children ask for such expensive gifts and we as parents feel obligated to buy them.
people who liked this comment are losers. lots of things bother me. I go fix it my bothering myself. interpretation? do not have child support? its not their fault money issues you have .blah

Love this 😊
Lovely documentary. Thank you and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
my mom always used to play that old black and white video for us when we were kids. i have not seen this since i was a kid
I like Spain's traditional idea of the three wise men representing different parts of the world giving gifts. It's different. I like it. The wise men kissing the kids may not be so readily acceptable anymore in 2021 Britain though. And our health and safety would have a field day with people going up ladders into people's houses. Alas, too much red tape over here. I hope it still exists over there though. Never lose your traditions. Be proud of them.
December 2021: What's everyone's Christmas wish? Santa list? 😁
Mine is to be able to afford a decent Christmas for my 4 children. My youngest has cerebral palsy & autism. She cant walk at all, only 5yrs old. I also have a 12,13 yr old daughters and 14 years old son too. I'm fighting stage 4 cervical cancer with mets to my bladder & into my left hip bone. Chemo, daily radiation. no insurance would cover me, to expensive. I wasnt approved for Medicaid to help either so all our money, which isnt alot goes to try to help me stay alive. I'm ok, I just worry for them. They deserve better & at least a Christmas gift, I pray they can forget being scared for their moms life and be kids again even for a day and hopefully have a present under the tree. That's my Christmas wish. I hope your all safe and well and have a very Merry Christmas. Hold onto the ones you love, keep them close , and always treat each other with kindness. You never know what someone's going through. God bless you all and Merry Christmas. Xox Thank you for reading this. Xox

Brilliant and Interesting...Thank you :D
Once I was listening to a baseball game played at Dodger Stadium. When there was a break in the action, the radio announcer commented, "Right now, there's a Santa Claus walking around the stands giving away gifts to all the kids (even though it's the middle of the summer.) Now, would anybody like to guess what color the Santa's suit is?"
Thank you!
I think of Santa Claus and all his other names as a collective spirit of goodness that lives for as long as people choose to perpetuate this pursuit of kindness and friendship. A symbol for such desired behavior, based on a possible ancient act of kindness, is not an issue for me. I choose to believe in the goodness of humanity and think it natural to teach by example, even if that example was ancient and morphed for fun. Someday, I will be ancient and hope that if I leave some positivity, that it could serve the world in some good manner.
Amen 🙏

The narrator is perfect fitting here
As a child it’s important to believe in the small harmless lies; like Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. That way, when you get older, you will believe in the big lies; like equality, fairness and justice.
Sad but true 😂
Yup...grooming
This is a very good and enjoyable documentary. It explains the different traditions of Christmas involving various Santa Claus-like characters and other holiday traditions however, primary in Europe and the US only. The are other countries that celebrates the holidays in their own unique traditions. Why not produce a documentary about those?

It's still nice that there is ELEMENTS of truth to the story. It's not all fake. You can still believe in the spirit of kindness and generosity.
Interesting Story!!!!

Beautiful history, all to develop and evolve over the years to realize that in reality, there are no naughty children, never were. Just unhappy, unfulfilled, unobserved or stifled kids, behavior is communication when language doesn't serve.
I love 🎅

Very interesting.
Sounds like David attenborough has been on the Christmas drinks before narrating this documentary. 🤣🤣
I was like 8 or 9 when I found out I cried for ages but it’s nice to pretend he’s real for the sake of the young kids and when I see him in town or that I always shout hi Santa and wave to him and he shouts hello their back also heard a lot of people are trying to ban Black peter saying he’s racist as it’s really a white guy or girl with black face paint
Anne Shields yes peter is racist. It is a white hit in black face.
@@olly2027 I think it’s time to send Peter to the history books and bring on the elves as most places has elves now Peter has had his day and dose not belong in the modern world sorry Peter
Great documentary! Santa Claus being a blending of all the world's Christmas traditions!
I love the video
BELIVEN IN SANTA, THE EASTER BUNNY, FARIES ETC,IS WHAT GOT ME THROUGH CHILDHOOD. BESIDES GOD.HAD TO HAVE SOMETHING GOOD AND FUN TO BELIVE IN, IT DIDNT HURT ANYTHING
Jackie Amos yes me too.
God is real, and he loves you. That's all I'm going to say.
SOMEONE ASKED ME ONCE , DO YOU BELIVE IN GOD? MY ANSER IS YES. HIS REPLY WAS, HOW DO YOU KNOW HE IS REAL? HAVE YOU MET HIM , OR SEEN HIM? ISAID I BELIVE IN HIM,AND I CAN SEE HIS WORK. THEN HE SAID,THEN WHY NOT SANTA CLAUSE?
The real Santa is a man of color! Wow how about that!
Don't worry, their immune systems are stronger than Superman.
"He knows when you've naughty or nice" - well in his old age he's had to outsource those tasks to Palantir & Google.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus!
Dank u, Sinterklaasje!
Glory be! I had absolutely no idea! 😳
Nowadays, the biggest Miracle on 34th Street is any NJ Transit train arriving to Penn Station on time.
Has me seeing red!
