I need to write a story for my school paper about the history of Saint Nick, aka Santa Claus. I've looked at several sites, but I just find stories about him that don't tell much. I need details!!! The paper goes to press Friday!

The story of Santa Claus is a myth with a lot of changes over the years. You may need to research a lot of places before you find the information that suits you for your paper.
St. Nicholas was a real person and searches using good clear key words on several different search engines should yield some promising information.
Wikipedia is a good source to get information from, but make sure you use other, more reliable, sources to support the information you find there. Because the references are posted and modified by readers/viewers it isn't always accurate, but still an excellent starting point for information you might not have thought to look under.

Do want a history of St. Nickolas or Santa Clause? One is an actual person the other is a myth.
