Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a cell containing a table and two (2) chairs at all times. Access to SCP-XXXX requires admittance of Level 3 personnel or higher. Personnel with a criminal record before December 25th on each year are prohibited access to SCP-XXXX (see Addendum-XXXX-1). Any threat from SCP-XXXX to list personnel on the "Naughty List" should be reported to personnel of Level 4 clearance or higher immediately. Personnel are to watch SCP-XXXX at all times to prevent a containment breach (see Addendum-XXXX-2).

Description: SCP-XXXX is a Caucasian elderly male that is 200 cm tall and weighs 250 pounds. SCP-XXXX resembles the mythological figure known as Santa Claus. SCP-XXXX is docile most of the time. SCP-XXXX has no known origin, claiming to "exist before the universe began" (see Addendum-XXXX-2).

SCP-XXXX has two (2) lists that it carries at times. Each list is written with the full names of individuals who communicated with SCP-XXXX in any form. The lists are labeled "Nice List" and "Naughty List" at the top. The lists seem to expand in length before SCP-XXXX writes a name in one of them.

On December 25th of every year, boxes will appear near every individual that communicated to SCP-XXXX about what they desired to obtain on that day. This only occurs if the individual's name is listed on SCP-XXXX's "Nice List". Individuals under the age of 18 that are listed on the "Naughty List" will receive a box containing coal.

SCP-XXXX was found in █████, Iceland on ██/██/████. It was walking down a street, giving gifts to children under 13. Dr. █████ was at the area during the discovery. The conversation is detailed below.

Dr. █████: Hey, why are you dressed up as Santa Claus? It's not Christmas yet.
SCP-XXXX: I AM Santa Claus!
SCP-XXXX began to chuckle

Dr. █████: Prove it.
SCP-XXXX: What do you want for Christmas?
Dr. █████: You won't give me it, will you?
SCP-XXXX: I'll give you anything you want.
Dr. █████: Sure, I'll have [DATA EXPUNGED].

On December 25th of the year of the discovery, Dr. █████ received [DATA EXPUNGED] inside his house. SCP-XXXX was later contained in Site-19.

Addendum-XXXX-1: On 12/25/████, three Class-D personnel over the age of 18 whose names were listed on SCP-XXXX's "Naughty List" received boxes containing coal. After approximately one (1) hour, the Class-D personnel were found dead. A humanoid figure resembling a goat, designated SCP-XXXX-1, consumed the bodies of each Class-D. Mobile Task Force Omega-1 ("Holiday Rescue Team") was sent to the area to terminate SCP-XXXX-1. One Omega-1 member was killed during the event. SCP-XXXX-1 disappeared before any termination of the object could occur.

One day later, SCP-XXXX was asked by Dr. █████ about the event. SCP-XXXX responded by saying "I had no control of this. However, the people killed during the event deserved this, because they were naughty this year."

Addendum XXXX-2: On ██/██/████, SCP-343 interviewed SCP-XXXX as requested by Dr. █████. The interview is detailed below.

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX

Interviewer: SCP-343
Foreword: SCP-343 interviewed SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX discovered information about its existence and origin.
<Begin Log>
SCP-343: So, how should we start?
SCP-XXXX: Who are you?
SCP-343: I am God. And who are you again?
SCP-XXXX: Santa Claus. You can also call me Saint Nicholas.
SCP-343: Oh yes, Santa Claus. Already knew your name.
SCP-XXXX: So, since you're God, did you create me?
SCP-343: Of course! Why would you not think that?
SCP-XXXX: I thought I existed before the universe began!
SCP-343: Before there was a universe, there was nothing. Enough said.
SCP-XXXX: Oh. What is my purpose?
SCP-343: You were created to bring gifts to people of all ages.
SCP-XXXX: Well, I'm glad I'm fulfilling my purpose!
SCP-343: I'm glad too. Anyways, why is it that when you give coal to adults, they are eaten by a goat monster?
SCP-XXXX: Krampus? I work with him. Every year before Christmas, we plan on what to do.
SCP-343: Okay, why does that happen?
SCP-XXXX: What are you talking about? Krampus does that. I have no control over it, but that's okay. Those naughty jerks deserve to be eaten by him.
SCP-343: Krampus was not made to kill people.
SCP-XXXX would begin to stand.
SCP-XXXX: Okay, why is it that God himself does not approve of ACTUAL JUS-
SCP-343: Santa, you need to understand something.
SCP-XXXX: That you are unjust?
SCP-343: No, it's that Krampus was made to scare the wicked away from the children. I can see why you work with him, but not why you would allow him to commit murder.
SCP-XXXX: You know what, you're gonna be on the Naughty List!
SCP-343: Krampus has no effect on me. I am too powerful to be killed by my own creations.
SCP-XXXX: Hmph. I guess there is no point in arguing with God.
SCP-XXXX would sit in a chair again.
SCP-XXXX: Now, God, can you let me escape? I don't like it here.
SCP-343: I'm sorry, but I will not let that happen. You need to stay here so the world doesn't end. People will keep asking for presents, and many will die. Plus, you can talk to me here anytime.
SCP-XXXX: Alright.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: The main details of the interview were reported to the O5 Council. SCP-XXXX has since then been required viewing for 24 hours per day.
