The Saint Nicholas Origin

<p>To me, Saint Nicholas has always hung around Christmas like a rope - it’s a thing that’s just begging to be pulled and reveal the magician behind the curtain. Does St. Nicholas actually have this power over Mr. Claus though?&nbsp;</p> <p>Today we dive into the history of Nicholas of Myra and try and see if there is <em>actually</em> anyway to connect him to our Santa Claus. Sure, the name might fit, but does anything else?</p> <p>Thanks today to Special Guests ::</p> <ul> <li>Joseph A McCullough for his book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Story-Santa-Claus-Open-Book/dp/1472803426/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=the+story+of+santa+claus+joseph+mccullough&amp;qid=1670911803&amp;sprefix=the+story+of+sant+claus+jose%2Caps%2C129&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank">The Story of Santa Claus</a></li> <li>Tom A.
