The Feast Day of St. Nicholas is Dec 6th. It offers a fun way to engage in a more historical and Kingdom inspired view of Santa Clause or as my two year old calls him "HoHoHo." Find ideas for family celebrations, tons of stories and history, free stuff and a gift shop with neat resources for congregational use. My son will be putting his shoe on the porch and learning about a real man, who follows a real God, and made a truly real impact on his neighbors in the years to come. There is a lot to this site with many interesting parent ministry helps.
