Another thing about Santa or Christmas is that it was actually banned in England in 1644 because the holiday would start riots and lots of houses would get raided since people were a little rowdy while celebrating it. So England would have probably hated the holiday and when traditions of modern Christmas circulated there were many versions of Santa until Coca cola got a hold of him and turned him into the red fat man a magical figure made by coca cola probably didn’t seem to England as real.

Oh wow, that really puts things into perspective. Yes, exactly, it wasn’t just one figure! Thank you so much for sharing this 🙂

If England can see magical creatures, how come he didn’t know about Santa Claus huh, huh?!

I think it’s because the Santa Claus you and I both know is an
invention. Yes, you did have early tales of St. Nicolas, Father Christmas, and
other similar variations in 19th century and early 20th century literature, but
Santa Claus and the whole idea of giving presents wasn’t really a thing until
Coca Cola popularized it. 

Basically, Santa Claus was a combination of different fables +
an added economic rationale to get people to spend more. 

In reference to Hetalia, when people began to believe in Santa
Claus, he materialized. England probably didn’t know about him because he
hadn’t existed for long enough. 

Anyways, I can’t believe I just spent five minutes explaining
this.
