The real Santa?
While investigating images and ideas for this series of articles I did a search for ethnic Santas. One caught my eye on a site titled: Rasta Livewire. Here you will find an interesting article telling the story of a man named Nicholas who the writer states is the person who inspired the idea of Saint Nicholas or Santa Claus.. The website states that the story was fashioned after a real person named Nicholas who was a member of the dominate class of Muurs and lived in Turkey. I am not a historian so I have no idea as to the true history of this person but I thought it was very interesting. You might enjoy checking out the article and perhaps expanding your idea of the origin of this popular cultural icon.

I love the idea of Santa no matter what
the origin. He is magic.
