  Much of the modern-day vision of Santa Claus is owed to the Clement Moore poem The Night Before Christmas and his description of Saint Nicholas as the jolly old elf . In this work, the origins of Santa Claus are found to stretch back over 50,000 years, jolting the foundation of Christian myths about the jolly old elf.
