Mickey Mouse came up with the idea of delivering gifts on Christmas Eve to help travelers. He and his friends would provide food, music, and gifts to those in need. Mickey took on the role of "St. Nick" and delivered toys to good children. This started the Christmas tradition of gift giving that has continued over the years. The story suggests Santa Claus later took credit for the idea.
