It truly is the most wonderful time of the year! Ho ho ho! “Merry Christmas!”
We know that Jesus is the reason for the season, but many of us also incorporate St. Nicholas into our traditions this time of year. So… who exactly was jolly old St. Nick? If you’ve ever wondered, search no more. Here is a helpful short (about 1:30 min.) video by Timothy Paul Jones:
I know several people want to keep Santa out of Christmas, and that’s fine, but I think it can also be a great way to celebrate Jesus’s life by celebrating those who lived a life in keeping with His character. At our house, we choose to celebrate the life and ministry of St. Nicholas of Myra… I hope one day we can also have a holiday called “punch a heretic” day (just kidding, lighten up, it’s Christmas 🎅🏼)
