No. They were all made up. Santa claus was made up by a guy in coca cola. And in the olden days… you wouldnt see any one dressed up like santa claus.
Santa Claus is a representation of St. Nicholas…a very real saint who was good to the poor and gave gifts. He is a very important saint in the Orthdox Christian world; ranks second to John the Baptist in order of saints.
The tooth fairy is a cute little story made up for small children…who, amazingly, believe in fairies without blinking. Many Wiccans and Pagans will tell you that fairies are quite well and they are adults!
The easter bunny is a character based on the rabbit being a symbol of fertility.
But, in a symbolic way, the word bunny is a takeoff on the Hebrew word B’Nai, or Lord.
Claus, also known as Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, or simply “Santa” is a legendary and historical character associated with bringing gifts on Christmas Day. Saint Nicholas of Myra is the primary inspiration for the Christian figure of Santa Claus. He was a 4th century Christian bishop of Myra in Lycia, a province of the Byzantine Anatolia, now in Turkey. Nicholas was famous for his generous gifts to the poor, in particular presenting the three impoverished daughters of a pious Christian with dowries so that they would not have to become prostitutes. He was very religious from an early age and devoted his life entirely to Christianity.
The tooth fairy is a traditional children’s character said to give children a small amount of money (or sometimes a gift) in exchange for a baby tooth when it comes out of a child’s mouth.
The Easter Bunny is a rabbit character who brings gifts and candy to children on the Easter holiday, an example of folklore mythology.
So out of the three, Santa Clause was the only folklore mythology that was based on a historical person. The remaining two are fictional characters.

They do if you believe and I am one who believes.
