| 0:10.8 | Have you ever wondered how old Santa Claus is, or where did he come from? I've long had an |
| 0:17.0 | obsession with Santa Claus. Like most of you, Christmas has always been a special time for |
| 0:22.1 | my family. We didn't have much growing up, but my mom always found a way to make Christmas special. |
| 0:27.8 | And so when Adriana and I had our daughter, we tried to do the same for her. When she got a little |
| 0:32.7 | older, she began to ask us about how old Santa Claus is, and we began a deep dive into the birth |
