Patrick Courrielche
In 2015, Courrielche wrote a long form story "St. Nicholas: The Birth Of A Social Weapon" on the origin of Santa Claus and introduced the concept of a "social weapon" - a packaged idea, message, or product that is used by an individual or group to advance their cause. Courrielche argued that New York City elites crafted Santa Claus from St. Nicholas, a widely known patron saint, to stabilize a city plagued by annual misbehavior every December. Santa Claus was then used as a "social weapon" by merchants, craftsman, city rulers, parents, newspapers, and others to benefit their endeavors. The essay was added to the St. Nicholas Center's resource on the Origin of Santa Claus.
The Santa Clause 2
Eight years have passed since Scott Calvin took on the mantle of Santa Claus, redeemed himself to be good, and solved The Santa Clause Mystery. Now he has become a great Santa at the North Pole, until Head Elf Bernard and Curtis, the Keeper of the "Handbook of Christmas" break the news that there is another clause – the "Mrs. Clause", a mystery of who will marry Scott.
