One of my fondest memories of Christmas TV shows as a child is "A Charlie Brown Christmas" - wherein we get the REAL Christmas story through his friend Linus, his translation is a bit off at the end, but I digress. The point I want to stress is again, the "giving spirit" of "Santa Claus" is truly the spirit of St. Nicolas, Bishop of Myra. When I am asked, "Do you believe in Santa Claus?" I answer, "Yes!" And that allows me to get into a discussion of St. Nicolas.
Tomorrow is the Feast of St. Nicholas. A few years back I compiled an article with history and traditions of St. Nicholas Day. One tradition our family practices is a St. Nicholas Day present. My wife and I made sure we had some small gift for the kids every December 6th.
You can see this and several other articles posted here on CathApol by clicking on the St. Nick label.

1) Please respond ON TOPIC to the article at hand.
2) Posts more than 4 weeks old are set to automatically save new comments for moderation - so your comment may not show up immediately if you're responding to an older post.
3) The "Spam Filter" is on - and randomly messages get caught in that filter. I have no control over which messages get caught in the spam filter and those that do must wait for me to mark them as "not spam." A message caught by the spam filter may show up for a moment, making you think it posted, and then disappear. Do not assume I have deleted your comment, it's probably just the spam filter and it will show up.
