Happy St. Nicholas Day!

Santa looks an awful lot like Saint Nicholas doesn't he?  Some people forget that 'Santa Claus' (Saint Nicholas) was first a bishop!
Today is the feast of St. Nicholas!  Nicholas was a wealthy young man who became the bishop of Myra, in modern day Turkey.  He gave what he had to the poor, and had a special care for the welfare of children. He is the patron saint of children and a model and reminder for us to be generous and giving, just as God is generous in giving us His only Son.

How can you be generous and giving this season?
