Sooner or later we’ve all asked ourselves: was Santa Claus ever a kid? Here’s the answer. In a little village in the far north there once was a child named Nikolas who suddenly lost his parents. The inhabitants of the village were poor but good of heart and decided that every family would host Nikolas for a year, thus sharing in expenses. The day he moved from one family to another was Christmas Day. Nikolas, grateful for all this help, began to make little toys to leave behind that day for the children of his hosts. But one day famine forced him to leave. |
