Christmas for Kids
Santa Claus and Christmas History Santa Claus, also known as Saint Nicholas or Father Christmas, is one of the most loved figures of Christmas. The legend of Santa originates from the real Saint Nicholas, a 4th-century Greek bishop who was renowned for his generosity, especially to children and the poor. Through time, his story transformed into the modern Santa we know today—wearing red, with a long white beard, and delivering gifts to children on Christmas Eve.

Chapters of Love and Life
I hope you enjoy reading my shares as much as I have loved creating them. May they take you places deep, where you have been, may be or places where you may be taken. May they be an aid in your living and healing. May they travel with you in your heart, hold and comfort you in your time; knowing that you are never alone in any thing. Others have been there, tasted the same bitter and painful moments. We survive when we know that there is an Almighty God looking over us and that there are others thinking of you. They too have known what you know.
