Basil of Caesarea, also called Saint Basil the Great, (329 or 330 – January 1, 379) () was the Greek bishop of Caesarea Mazaca in Cappadocia, Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey).

Santa Claus, also known as Saint Nicholas, Sinterklaas, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, or simply "Santa", is a legendary figure who, in many Western cultures, brings gifts to the homes of the good children during the late evening and overnight hours of Christmas Eve, December 24 or on his Feast Day, December 6 (Saint Nicholas Day). The legend may have part of its basis in hagiographical tales concerning the historical figure of gift giver Saint Nicholas. A nearly identical story is attributed by Greek and Byzantine folklore to Basil of Caesarea. Basil's feast day on January 1 is considered the time of exchanging gifts in Greece.

Any of these will work and this is where they came from.

What is the origin of santa clause?

Santa Claus was derived from the Dutch figure of Sinterklaas, (Saint Nicholas) who was originally portrayed wearing bishop's robes (a "Tabard").[2] Today, Santa Claus is generally depicted as a plump, jolly, white-bearded man wearing a red coat with white collar and cuffs, white-cuffed red trousers, and black leather belt and boots (images of him rarely have a beard with no moustache). This image became popular in the United States and Canada in the 19th century due to the significant influence of caricaturist and political cartoonist Thomas Nast.[3][4][5] This image has been maintained and reinforced through song, radio, television, and films. In the United Kingdom and Europe, he is often depicted in a manner identical to the American Santa Claus, but he is commonly called Father Christmas. The legend of sinterklaas may have part of its basis in hagiographical tales concerning Saint Nicholas. A nearly identical story is attributed by Greek and Byzantine folklore to Basil of Caesarea. Basil's feast day on January 1 is considered the time of exchanging gifts in Greece, while the feast day of saint nicholas is on his Feast Day, December 6 (Saint Nicholas Day).
