What color is Santa Clause to you - and what color is Santa do you tell your children, and what color did you believe Santa was?

‘You're Not Santa, Santa's Not Black': San Diego's Black Santa Brings Diversity, Magic of Belief to Holiday

There’s a new Santa Claus in town– and he calls himself the Black Santa.

He has shiny black boots, a tailored red suit complete with gold reindeer buttons and an impressive white beard that any beard grower would be envious of.

Not only does he dress the part, but he acts it too. When kids run up to greet him, he instantly scoops them up:

“Well, what’s your name?”

“What would you like for Christmas?”

When asked for his favorite type of cookie, the answer is quick and clear, “Oh! All cookies are my favorite cookies, not just one.”

He’s Ol’ Saint Nick to a tee with the joy and holiday spirit to prove it. But, rather than the traditional “ho, ho, ho,” this Santa sometimes switches it up with “yo, yo, yo.”

He was tan in color.

Real painting of Saint Nicholas

Saint Nicholas was born in Patara Turkey.

In that area the people are usually richer in color light skin is the minority.

The truth is he had a tan color most likely brown eyes.

It's sad that we portray him as some white character with blue eyes. It's sadder still when there's a darker skin version of Santa and people reject him.

In then we need to teach our children to be accepting of what Santa stands for which is Peace and Love and skin tone doesn't matter. When my kids ask me I looked it up and showed them the picture that I posted here.

My kids think it's cool because they say it looks like Papa (their grandfather my dad).

Oh well its sad to reject any version of Santa who is out there doing good.

As long as he isn't stealing money or harming people then race doesn't matter
