I didn't know so I decided to look it up. Wikipedia states Thomas Nast of Germany drew the first picture of santa claus in 1863, Thomas Nast . Coca Cola made Santa Claus famous in the 1930's when they put him on their bottles. So the answer is Germany.

The Dutch brought it to America and coca-cola created that jolly red and white image, I know that much. I think it was the Dutch. Well i voted no anyway.

Oh I found this on the internet:
Father Christmas is based on a real person, St. Nicholas, which explains his other name 'Santa Claus' which comes from the Dutch 'Sinterklaas'. Nicholas was a Christian leader from Myra (in modern-day Turkey) in the 4th century AD. He was very shy, and wanted to give money to poor people without them knowing about it. It is said that one day, he climbed the roof of a house and dropped a purse of money down the chimney. It landed in the stocking which a girl had put to dry by the fire! This may explain the belief that Father Christmas comes down the chimney and places gifts in children's stockings.

So I think he comes from turkey

yea i think it was germany at first, and the big-stomach-red-clothes-white-beard-thing has cocacola written all over it.
and still, santa claus actually "lives" in finland, or should we say lapland. and try to remember that !
