xmas book 06|Saint Nicholas: The Real Story of the Christmas Legend

Saint Nicholas: The Real Story of the Christmas Legend (Hardcover)
by Julie Stiegemeyer, Chris Ellison (Illustrator)

Reason why I recommend this book...
When my children were born, I decided that I didn't want them believing that the Santa Claus we see everywhere at Christmastime was real. I also didn't want him to get all the credit for presents that we worked hard to pay for.

A few years ago I discovered that December 6th was Saint Nicholas day, and since then we have celebrated Santa through this day. Every Saint Nicholas day we read this book and throw little bags of chocolate coins through the window to remember the true legend of the man we call Santa! :)
