Saint Nicholas was born in Patara of Lycia about the middle of the third century, of devout and wealthy parents who provided him with a Christian upbringing and education. He was orphaned at an early age.

Later he was ordained a priest, and when the bishop of his district died, he was made Bishop of Myra of Lycia.

Saint Nicholas is distinguished for his great faith, for his struggle in the name of Orthodoxy and especially for his charity.

His faith was so great, that with his prayer he calmed a stormy sea while on a trip to the Holy Lands. For this reason sailors pay homage to him as their protector.

He fought for the predominance of Orthodoxy and took part in the First Ecumenical Synod of Nicea.

Especially well known is his charity and his love for children. He used his great wealth to relieve all who were in need: poor families, widows, and especially orphans and poor children. For this same purpose he founded, as Bishop, a poorhouse, hostelries, and a hospital.

He was the personification of Christian love and affection. As such he is honored by all the Christian world, both the Eastern and the Western.

In the West especially he is considered as the great patron Saint of children and the cheerful giver of gifts under the name Santa Claus.

i remember when i was very young, and we did not have much,

one christmas i sent a letter to santa asking for mom and dad to not have to worry where our christmas dinner would come from.

we had little food in the house and noway to buy any.

we lived in the country and hunted for most of our food.

i sat up with Dad all night watching out the kitchen window waiting for an animal to go through the back yard to kill for food.
but nothing came.

when i poened the fridge to get a cold drink it was full of foos. and i mean full stuff falling out of both the fridge and freezer.

and a note that said, "thank you for believing. ask for more next year"

the year after that my dad's business took off and we have never had to hunt or worry about food (or much else after that)

santa is very real. and i love him.

i am 29 years old.

Yes, he is very real. Tell him that he'd better go to bed though because santa wants to get started delivering presents. He has a busy night ahead of him. Merry Christmas!
