Nicholas to Santa Clause

It started with a child, in Greece over 2,000 years ago

When he had lost his parents to illness

So to his uncle he did go.

His uncle was a bishop in a far away land

And this young lad grew up with love of god and man

His head was shaved with a halo of hair

He was proud of that with his head partly bare

He studied religion with his uncle and others

And soon became one of the Catholic Church brothers.

From plain Nick to Nicholas the Wonderworker he grew

For the marvelous miracles and things he could do.
He had a reputation for his creative giving of a gift

For those who put their shoes by their door they got a little lift!

Coins were left in the shoes and would help those in need

Soon clothes and food, what a wonderful deed!
And Then Bishop Nickolas thought it would be great

If ordinary people could begin to relate,

To the secret happenings they could not see.

Trust, faith and prayer that would be their new key!

And remembering that great evening when the star shone so bright

One can reflect on the trinity and the birth of Christ that night.

And so through the ages’ everyone on earth

Has come to know about Saint Nicolas, Santa Claus and the Christ child’s birth

We now celebrate this season with gifts and great relief

That we can have what we will need if first have belief.

During this Christmas season with lights and gifts galore

Remember the coins in the shoes that were put outside the door.

And if you can be giving to those who need more than you

Think about Saint Nicholas and all that he could do.

Whether it is coins or clothing or some food to eat.

Give to those unknowing ……that will be their Christmas treat.

And as you hear the Christmas music and celebrate with joy

Be sure to see the happiness and glee with every girl and boy.

For they too are believing in something still unseen

And this is their beginning of a life that is serene.

There’s a wish for you for a Merry Christmas and a New Year blessed with health

For believing and achieving is an amazing gift of wealth
