Santa Claus is round and plump;
St. Nicholas is tall and thin.
Santa Claus wears a stocking cap;
St. Nicholas wears a bishop’s hat.
Santa Claus comes December 25th;
St. Nicholas comes December 6th.
Santa Claus is often seen in stores;
St. Nicholas is often seen in churches.
Santa Claus flies through the air—from the North Pole;
St. Nicholas walked the earth, caring for those in need.
Santa Claus, for some, replaces Jesus at Christmas;
St. Nicholas, for all, points to Jesus at Christmas.
Santa Claus isn’t bad;
St. Nicholas is just better!
—C. Myers & J. Rosenthal

Beautifully put. The St Nicholas center has been a great resource for our family for a couple of years. We have made one as part of our Nativity scene some years and he comes to see Jesus.
God bless

Shamefully, I just found this resource through on of my favorite bloggers, PhatCatholic Apologetics. Nicholas is a wonderful young man with lots to share on his blog….Go visit him if you haven’t already!
