Xmas is in the Air

SaintNicholas was a bishop of the Christian church of Myra,in Lycia, Anatolia. He enjoyed a reputation for great generosity and compassion. Legend has it that he saved the three daughters of a poor nobleman from a life of prostitution, by tossing a bag of gold through an open window of their home on three, separate occasions.This provided the young women with a dowry with which to procure an honorable marriage. The custom of giving gifts at Christmas is attributed to this legend.In keeping with this legend, I hope that Santa brings you and yours all that you want for Christmas.
