A tradition that stems from Saint Nicholas' generosity, the practice of giving many gifts to children became popular in the 19th century. Stores began to publicize Christmas shopping in 1820 and by mid-century newspapers had holiday sections advertising a real Santa in the stores for children to visit.

This snowballed into the gift-giving bonanza we know today, as many parents couldn't resist buying more trinkets for their darlings, especially after they had personally told Santa what they wished for.
