does santa exist?

well not santa the one who comes every christmas and leaves you presents...but santa as in st. nicholas did exist!! and recent research in manchester uni suggests that St. Nic was a turkish pope who use to help the poor...and the concept we have of santa came about because where he lived there was a poor man with three daughters and he couldnt afford to get them married so St. Nic use to drop coins through the chimney for them! now how much of that is true you'll have to ask manchester uni!!!
