I read an interesting book called "Saint Nicholas: The Saint Who Would be Santa Claus." It was a great book detailing the life of the saint who Santa Claus would be based off of later (or at least one of the saints -- there are a few different Saint Nicholases.) It's a lovely book if you like trivia.<br />Thanks for posting!<br />Merry Christmas!<br />-ChristinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823099189127138897.post-74911344941326285222016-12-19T17:47:42.596-06:002016-12-19T17:47:42.596-06:00Fun, informative post.
