Santa Claus (also known as Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Santy or simply Santa) is a folklore figure in various cultures who distributes gifts to children, normally on Christmas Eve . Each name is a variation of Saint Nicholas , but refers to Santa Claus. In today's North American, European and worldwide celebration of Christmas, people young and old simply refer to the hero of the season as Santa , or Santa Claus. (Wikipedia) Conventionally, Santa Claus is portrayed as a kindly, round-bellied, merry, bespectacled white man in a red coat trimmed with white fur, with a long white beard . On Christmas Eve, he rides in his sleigh pulled by flying reindeer from house to house to give presents to children. To enter the house, Santa Claus comes down the chimney and exits through the fireplace . During the rest of the year he lives together with his wife Mrs. Claus and his elves manufacturing toys . Some modern depictions of Santa (often in advertising and popular entertainment) will show the elves and Santa's workshop as more of a processing and distribution facility, ordering and receiving the toys from various toy manufacturers from across the world.

These events center around the figure of the Krampus, a beast-like, punishing “devil” that accompanies St. Nicholas on December 5, the eve of his feast day. By 2010, groups of people in US cities were staging their own Krampusnacht processions in downtown areas, referencing the European enactments while simultaneously innovating their embodiments to meaningfully interact with the Christmas season in the United States. Participation in these events increases annually and the Krampus figure’s presence online and in popular media is on the rise.

    Frontier Economics Bulletin Water Energy Snow Telecoms Financial services Festive cheer Healthcare Father Christmas Media Post Retailing Transport Environment Walking in a winter wonderland Contract design and evaluation Dispute support services Market design and auctions DECEMBER 2012 The Invisible Handout SANTA’S ECONOMICS Every Christmas, children receive free goods via a supply chain that winds through their chimney and ends up under a tree. It seems simple and efficient: few customers question the quality of service; seek alternative suppliers; or challenge the price charged in accumulated ‘good behaviour’. But in these tough times Frontier’s economists thought it was time to take a cold, hard look at the quality of the service provided by Santa Claus. Father Christmas is coming to town, and if previous years are anything to go by, he’ll be providing unrivalled service in the Christmas Eve present delivery sector. To do so, he has to operate a complex supply chain with some unusual market dynamics. Upstream, the Elves of Lapland manufacturers have been working day and night to ready products. The Sleigh & Reindeer distribution chain is raring to go, offering Santa unrivalled just-in-time delivery solutions. In the retail market, Father Christmas demands a minimum level of “good behaviour” in exchange for a present. And across this whole supply chain, Father Christmas owns and operates a monolithic vertically integrated business. 2 Frontier Economics | December 2012 In many ways, therefore, Santa’s market is unique. But different economists will analyse its peculiarities from different angles. This bulletin describes the probing questions that four of Frontier’s leading practices would put to Santa plc.
