Whose Santa are You?

Why is Santa so popular?
The answers are simple
Santa did simple things in an extra ordinary way. Saint Nicholas was a monk born in Turkey, he gave a better part of his life to charity.
He never hesitated to give or to help people in need irrespective of their religion or relationship with him. He was just a giver who have everything at any given time.
St Nicholas continued to give and help the poor and needy in the society that people began to associate that name with giving even after his death
Till date, he is remembered and honoured every 6th December, his death day and he is also celebrated every Christmas, the only major thing he did was to give and help people
