Christmas post

I really wanted to, I simply had to, you probably wanted it, I did it. A post on Christmas! Now Santa Claus, being called St. Nicholas was actually a saint, he became famous for saving some sisters from going into prostitution just to support themselves, and we now know St. Nicholas as the patron saint of prostitutes, yeah, Santa is always jolly for that reason. How St. Nicholas became our Santa Claus came from a book written a long time ago that detailed St. Nicholas as a jolly large man that drove around in a sleigh pulled by eight tiny reindeer, I'd hate to have been one of the tiny reindeer... the art of decorating a Christmas tree, the tree in general, came from Martin Luther, the famous religious reformer who lived in the 17th century. He one day became so fascinated by the stars in the night sky that he decorated a tree with candles, and that the Christmas tree came to America through a German immigrant who brought his old country's tradition of decorating a Christmas tree with him and it caught on. However, the Christmas tree dates back even further to pagan traditions, since the tree itself, which was an evergreen, was associated with life and to give them hope for spring during the harsh winters.

So that's a Christmas post, I hope you readers liked it and enjoy the holidays.

See you later,
