Dutch Handyman Said to Inspire Santa Claus Origin

New York reports a sturdy Dutch handyman named Peter, longtime Moore family helper, inspired Dr Clement Clarke Moore to create Santa Claus in 1822. Moore, a Columbia Oriental languages professor, drafted the Christmas poem during a house party drive, after Peter and a Christmas Eve ride sparked the vision. Harriet Butler copied the verses, Troy Sentinel published them on December 23, 1823, and the poem spread worldwide, solidifying the jolly figure beloved by children and adults alike.
