GEN: evolution of Santa / "Santas" from around the world

[Jennifer Kleparek <Jenklep@AOL.COM>]

My art students need to complete a project about the evolution of Santa Claus
and "Santas" from around the world.  They are to draw the Santa and write a
paragraph about his origin.

After searching the archives and the Internet, as well as looking for
websites in World Book Online articles and Web Feet, I found the following
web-sites that have only a little bit of information:

http://christmas.com

http://www.historychannel.com/exhibits/holidays

http://www.holidays.net/Christmas/Santa.htm


Does anyone have any other suggestions?    How about any book suggestions?

Thank you!
