Ubi Petrus

So many people forget there is a real person, and a real story, behind Santa Claus.  Today we celebrate the feast of St. Nicholas of Myra.  I could give you my own short blurb on his story, but I’ll leave you to read through some of the below on your own.  If you have children and have never told them the story of St. Nicholas, today is certainly a great day to start.  The saints have much to teach us, and it is only to our own detriment should we not pay them attention.
