Our Santa Claus was born in Texas as John Herring. At five years old, he figured to himself that he was destined to be the next Santa. Two years ago he was taken to a mental institution for public disturbance due to his belief that he needed to get back to the North Pole in time for Christmas. There David discovered him and took him in. "Santa" is now working as an in-store-Santa until it is time for his "calling".
