Santa Claus!!
Who was St. Nicholas and how did he
become Santa Claus?
Our story begins with Nicholas, who was born during the third century in the village of Patara.
Nicholas wanted to obey Jesus’ words “to sell what you own and give the money to the poor”
He used these words by assisting the needy, the sick, and the suffering
He was known throughout the land for his generosity to those in need, his love for children and concern for sailors and ships
The anniversary of his death became a day of celebration. St. Nicholas Day is celebrated on December 6th.
He helped a family that had three daughters who were going to be sold to slavery.
He helped by secretly putting gold in the stockings that the girls hung above the fire to dry.
He did this a couple of times for the family so the daughters wouldn’t be sold, to this day people say that St. Nicholas, or Santa is the special friend of children.

Legends of Christmas!!
Jack
Frost
Jack Frost is a frisky little fellow. He never seems to lose his youth and freshness, although he is as old as time itself!
As days grow shorter and the nights get longer Jack is very busy and does not make long visits to the sunny south.
Jack Frost is a mischievous little elf. While you are asleep he dances on the window panes, and covers them with beautiful crystals.
He whistles down the street and snips the noses of the old gentlemen. He makes the old men feel like young boys again.
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer!!
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer had a very shiny nose, if you saw it, you would say it glows red.
All of the reindeers used to make fun of him as a child and even as he grew older.
Then on a foggy Christmas Eve Santa Claus needed Rudolph's help. He needed his nose to lead the sleigh through the fog.
Then Rudolph became a hero and all of the reindeer loved him! After the foggy Christmas Rudolph became famous!
