Santa Claus is a beloved figure of Christmas and children around the world eagerly await his visits on Christmas Eve. But have you ever wondered how old Santa is?
The answer is, Santa is ageless! Although Santa is often depicted as an older man with white hair and a long beard, his physical age is a mystery. Santa is said to exist outside the normal rules of time, granting him an agelessness that may never be understood.
According to some sources, Santa is as old as time itself. This means he’s been delivering toys to children since the beginning of time and he’s never aged a day. Other sources suggest Santa became a part-time toy maker and distributor about 400 years ago after meeting a charitable Dutch monk. This version of the legend places Santa at age 398 and counting.
Perhaps his agelessness is related to the immortality granted to him by legend and folklore. He’s a symbol of childlike joy, hope and optimism that celebrates the Christmas season every year. Many believe if Santa grew older, the tradition would lose its luster, so his immortality ensures that the spirit of Christmas will continue forever.
Santa’s true age may remain a mystery, but one thing is certain: he’ll continue to bring joy and happiness to children everywhere on Christmas Eve!
