Edit 2. Plus, Santa does not kill whales, so he cannot be a Norwegian; moreover, Santa has a wife and he is openly straight and has a huge belly, so he cannot be Swedish either.
Edit 3. If everybody believes the propaganda about Santa being a rosy cheek, red-dressed, jolly man well, then it's your problem. That's Coca-Cola Santa, not the real one. The real one lives near and comes to Estonia every weekend to get wasted with large amounts of beer in exchange for few euros. I met him last weekend. He ended up with no pants, drooling while crawling in the sidewalks, picking up cigarette butts. Nice chap.
