So, Nicholas on three different nights tossed bags of gold j through a window of their home ! so each daughter could be mar-i ried.This tale was translated into many languages Ihe world over and soon, whenever unexpected gifts were received, St.Nicholas was credited.i St.Nicholas, known by other i names adapted to the spoken | .language, was pictured as a kinri-s ly, white boarded, black robed .j bishop who rode a white horse : over the housetops when he dis-i tributed gifts.So it is to St.Nicholas that, we give thanks for Santa's eus- ! 5 tom of giving, full white beard, j riding over housetops, and par-j tially, for his name.Sanla Claus had many other |forerunners, some who slill bring I gifts in his place to children in | other lands.Another \"ancestor'\u2019 of \"Santa\u201d carne from Germany.\u201cChrist-ikindl,\u201d sometimes called \u201cKrisl-j king\u201d is a little girl, a messenger of the Christ child.This same angel-girl also was 1 the gift-giver to the Swiss chil-S ilren.There she arrived in a | sleigh drawn by six reindeer.In Norway, \u201cJulenisscn\u201d or \"Jul Tomten,\u201d a gtiy elf, left | gifts in the hayloft and in re-! turn received a bowl of pudding from Ihe children.So, in Norway, Santa\u2019s fine helpers, the elves, were found.And in England, the chimney j was swept before New Year's I Day so that good luck would I have a way into the home.This, then, was the novel and perfect way for Santa Claus to make Holidays ara wonderful times to be festive and happy in the company of family and friends.We send our warmest wishes for a very merry Yuletide.May good health and good fellowship be yours in full measure!
