Saint Nicholas

St. Nicholas was a right merry ol’ soul Making children happy was his entire life's goal, With a pack full of toys For all good girls and boys For centuries, his dedication we extol. Written November 27, 2022

A great man he was too, I visited the Island in Turkey where he was buried. Tom

I think he has many names in different parts of the world, but yes, there really was a Saint Nicholas, and he was a great man!

Yep, there really was a St. Nicholas, Jenna. (chuckling) As far as I know, because I've heard from several Soupers today. Hmmm...have I missed one of your e-mails? I'll double-check.
