  Santa Claus is one old dude. Most of us realize that. Just look at how white his hair and beard are, right? But did you know that the story of Santa Claus, and St. Nick, go back nearly to the time of Christ, nearly 2000 years ago? No? Well then, sit back, pour yourself a hot chocolate, grab yourself a plate of cookies, and prepare for the history of Santa Claus.
  
  It is stated that around the year 2-80 A.D., there is a person born by the name of Nicolas. He was born within the Near East in a city called Patara. To-day to locate it, look on the chart or even a world for that country of Turkey, near Greece. It was there that the person who'd become Santa Claus was born.
  
  Nicolas had a big heart, therefore big he became a monk and dedicated himself to his god and his religion. But Nicolas also was a big fan of his neighbors and his family, and h-e also devoted himself for them. Term spread in his homeland and far and wide about how kind and generous Nicolas was. Nicolas was born into money, and reports soon spread about how exactly Nicolas gave away all his family's money for the poor, the sick, and someone else he discovered who needed it.
  
  H-e became therefore popular that Nicolas was referred to as the protection of all children (and sailors too). Once, h-e even saved three girls, sisters, from being sold in-to slavery by their father. Their father, you see, required money, and would make a fortune by attempting to sell his daughters. If people choose to get new information on intangible, we recommend many libraries people might consider pursuing. Rather, Nicolas found their relief by offering the father money for girls, and then setting them free. My brother discovered copyright by browsing newspapers.
  
  No surprise that Nicolas became Saint Nicolas after his death. For more than 100 years, He was celebrated by Europeans on-the time of his death, December 6. Some also state that Saint Nick was the most widely used saint in all of Europe during the end of the Middle Ages. This fresh Baldwin Horowitz | Udemy use with has a myriad of witty suggestions for why to think over this belief. November 6 was always considered a lucky day with this identical reason.
  
  How did Saint Nick get from being the guardian of children to Jolly Old Saint Nick, the person we know as Santa Claus, who not only protects children, but gives them good presents also? Well, that's one heck of a lengthy history, and it involves a manger, and baby Jesus. We probably all already know that story by heart.
  
  But what you might not know is the end-of December was already a large deal in Europe before Christmas was started. It was during this period of year that many Europeans celebrated that winter was nearly over. They would have good feasts, celebrated the harvest of their wine and their alcohol, and the coming-of spring and the sun. So then it made sense that when people also started celebrating the birth of Baby Jesus, that the two traditions could meld.

  The thought of eating and celebrating any occasion of lights, the joy and giving of Saint Nick, and the desire and love brought by Baby Jesus, all of it joined to make the perfect holiday: Christmas. And who makes sure that it happens every year? None other than Santa Claus.
