Kids and Christmas

[kılıç_mehmet]

The guys you posted in the pictures look pretty sinister! they would certainly make them behave..

He is not a person who punishes or rewards kids. He is a storyteller, a famous bard of the old. We used to place much value on bards and storytellers. Now instead of our illustrious epics, our kids see the fat santa in movies and coca cola advertisements, while the real Santa, Saint Nicholas was said to have come from Turkey, and he certainly didn't look like the fat guy, and he wasn't from the north pole, and he had not any reindeers with him, but he did give out presents at christmas....They had a statue of him in the place he supposedly resided, but now the old statue of a man of the cloth was raised, and a phat, red santa statue was put in it's place by the gov. as it supposedly looked more sympathetic.

The old one is to the right, the new, to the left.

Here in Slovakia we technically have St.Nicolas but we call him...Jesus.
Literally.

Really? I didn't know that.
