Joy bells are ringing—Christ
mas is in the air! St. Nicholas is
without doubt the most popular
saint in the year’s calendar. -All
good children have waited pa
tiently — or impatiently — for
twelve long months for the re
turn of this most beloved old
man, whom we. in the United
States, familiarly call Santa
Claus.
According to the legend this
jolly old fellow forsook his veiy
own offspring—ten children—
that he might lead a quiet, re
ligious life; but he afterward.s
atoned for this sin by adopting
the children of the entire world.
Each year on Christmas Eve he
visits, or presumably visits, the
world’s big family, which he
claims as his very own. For gen
erations he has clambered down
the sooty chimneys, with his
pack on his back and dispensed
his wares.
At this season, Santa Claus is
the moat real person in all th»
world, and he means to most of
us just what he meant to us
when we were kiddies. He came
through the soft moonlight, over
the glistening snow, in his
.sleigh, drawn by six fleet-foot
ed reindeer, scampering along,’
whiffing the breeze, jingling the
merry sleigh bells through the
icy air of night. W|e see old

old gray cat and her two little
spotted kittens, made a half cir
cles around the glowing embers.
Breathlessly we sat and awaited
the all-important event. We
had previously scribbled notes,
enumerating our modest wants,
and sent them flying up the
chimney with devout faith and
sincere earnestness. Now, it was
only left for us to lean forward
and call up the chimney any
wish we might have forgotten—
for Santa Claus was so near that
we could feel his very presence,
and certainly he heard every
whispered word at this season.
We were forewarned not to re
plenish the fire, so thsU the
good saint would not be endan
gered by the heat, and possibly
turn aside and neglect to visit
our fireside. I am not sure but
that Mother even put out the
fire, after we had hung our
stockings around the chimney,
and been shooed off to bed. She
followed us upstairs, tucked us
in bed, kissed us goodnight, and
