    This story was written by Lucrece Beale and was an AP Newsfeature Story in 1977. The pictures on the story are made from the original newspaper pictures.

    It tells how Claus became Santa Claus and why he lives at the North Pole; why he only wears red and only visits once a year; and how the reindeer and the elves became a part of Christmas.
