The Santa Papers: The Unofficial Autobiography of Nicholas of Myra

Santa, of course, is a commercial icon. But it is good to remember that the original version was a real pastor remembered for his kindness to children and to strangers 1700 years ago.

It is also good for kids to know there was such a person and for adults to be such a person.

To the degree The Santa Papers helps you think about an ancient pastor when you think of Santa, it will be a success.
