      Very old...


      The earliest English examples of the personification of Christmas are apparently those in carols of the 15th century.[citation needed] The manuscript Bodelian Library MS Arch. Selden b. 26, which dates from circa 1458 AD,[11] contains an anonymous Christmas carol (f. 8) which begins with the lyrics:


      Goday, goday, my lord Sire Christëmas, goday!


      Goday, Sire Christëmas, our king, for ev'ry man, both old and ying, is glad and blithe of your coming; Goday!

        No, Hector is not Father Christmas... He isn't even a plum cake.

        St Nicolas was born in the 3rd century AD  therefore about 1,700 years old.
