The Saint Nicholas Origin

To me, Saint Nicholas has always hung around Christmas like a rope - it’s a thing that’s just begging to be pulled and reveal the magician behind the curtain. Does St. Nicholas actually have this power over Mr. Claus though? Today we dive into the history of Nicholas of Myra and try and see if there is actually anyway to connect him to our Santa Claus. Sure, the name might fit, but does anything else? Thanks today to Special Guests :: Joseph A McCullough for his book The Story of Santa Claus Tom A. Jerman for his book Santa Claus Worldwide
