I think I would disagree with you on that point. BUT, I do agree with you that Santa Claus is not a fairy tale. Rumor has it that he was actually based on a real person! I believe the elf connection came later in the more traditional sense of Santa Claus. <br /><br />I'm loving your thoughts on Fairy Tale Fridays thus far! I look forward to reading more!Tif Sweeneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06015299390676538748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-22975656971191290132010-12-24T18:35:37.154-06:002010-12-24T18:35:37.154-06:00what a cool post!!

I would maybe say that Santa is part of folklore not really a fairy tale per se. Does that make any sense at all??Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857638467064749190noreply@blogger.com
