  Santa on the Beach
Twenty years ago, when Santa Claus Lane was in its heyday, it was a hot spot for L.A. kids like Mary Morton, who spent her summers near Carpenteria, a low-key Southern California beach community outside Santa Barbara.
These days, Santa Claus Lane is a shabby shadow of its former self—a few stores and a single restaurant—although the giant Santa still waves to motorists as they drive Highway 101, beckoning them to pull off the highway and visit Santa's Toyland.
At Santa's Kitchen, the lone restaurant, it's Christmas all year long, with a mural of Santa on the wall, red booths, miniature Christmas trees, red and white tinsel, gingerbread houses, and fl-haired dolls with crazed eyes wearing Santa caps.

 Santa Claus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Santa Claus is an eminent character in the hearts and minds of millions of children and adults around the world who believe in him.
Santa Claus is a variation of a Dutch folk tale based on the historical figure Saint Nicholas, a bishop from Myra in Asia Minor (the greater part of modern-day Turkey), who used his whole inheritance to assist the needy, the sick, and the suffering.
Conventionally, Santa Claus is portrayed as a kindly, round-bellied, merry, bespectacled white man in a red coat trimmed with white fur (perhaps remotely derived from the episcopal vestments of the original Bishop Nicholas), with a long white beard and green or white gloves.
