Did You Wonder
Why Santa Drops
Gifts Down Chimney?
How did it come about that San
ta drops his gifts down the chim
ney?
| For the. answer to this common
belief about Santa and Christmas,
we must go back to Saint Nicholas,
responsible for so many other cus
toms related to Christmas..
There's a story about an impov
erished nobleman who was unable
to find husbands for his three
daughters because he could not af
ford a dowry for each. He was
about to sell the daughters into
slavery when St. Nicholas heard
about it.' Silently, Old Saint Nick
dropped three bags of gold down
the chimney. All three daughters
soon married and lived happily
ever after.
Thereafter, Saint Nicholas was
often pictured holding three bags
of gold. It is thought that he died
about 343 A.D'. and historians say
that for 30 days after his death
his genial spirit roamed the earth,
filling the hearts of mankind with
love and generosity.
It could be said that St. Nick
and Dr. Clement Moore, who wrote
"A Visit From Saint- Nicholas"

A TREAT
For The
#hble
Just like most everyone else,
iBcint Nick prospered ait?r he
.Ca.ne to America.
1 In Europe, before he reached
Ithese shores. Saint Nick was a tall,
angular man who rode a bony gray
mare. He hadn't been in America
long, however, before he had *
new .name, a new face, figure and
a new and better mode of tr^ns- ,
portation. ,|
The early English settlers in thlg
country started Santa's "new look'*,
procfess. They adopted the legend*'
ary figure from the Dutch, but
couldn't pronounce "Saint Nicko*
lous." The best they qould do wa?
"Santa Kalouf," which was cor
rupted to "Santa Claus."
In 1809, Washington Irving in hit
"Knickerbocker's History of New
York," changed Santa!s physical
appearance by describing him as a
jolly fellow with a broad-brimmed
hat and huge britches. He also
taught St. Nick to smoke a pipe,
and traded his hay burner for a
wagon.
Clement Moore in his famous
poem, "The Visit from Saint Nich
olas," went even further. He gave
Saint Nick a sleigh, twinkling eyes,
cheeks like roses, nose like a
cherry and a round little belly.
Future writers may try to trade
Prancer and Dancer off for a jet
ship and trim down Santa's waist
line. It will be a tough job, for,
though he isn't streamlined, Santa
pleases the young folks and that'
mighty important.
