The History of Santa Claus


What a great guy this Santa is! Always giving to those in need and those who deserve it because they are kind and good people. Naught or Nice...
So was there a real Santa? Yes Virginia there is!   Santa's real name was Saint Nick or Nicholis.
In short Saint Nick was a very rich man in the forth century. He received an huge inheritance from his family and vowed to God he would give it away to those in need and that's exactly what he did while he lived on the earth.
You also can continue these age old principles of GIVING. Print out some GP cards, visit our Great Giving Ideas Page and begin. Christmas all year around!

The history channel has a short video on the orgins of Christmas and Saint Nick. Click below to watch it.
