But the popular perception of Saint Nicholas today diverges greatly from his original veneration as a compassionate almsgiver and defender of the poor. Saint Nicholas has been reduced to the pop culture figure of Santa Claus, a jolly old man who brings presents to good little boys and girls. This book reacquaints those boys and girls with the authentic Santa Claus—Nicholas, a man who found greatness not simply in spreading \"good cheer,\" but in being a true icon of Jesus Christ in word and deed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eWell-told stories, like this one of Saint Nicholas, are gis to our children [of] lives well-lived.
