In Britain, children call him Father Christmas. In Germany, he is
Kriss Kringle. And of course, you know him as a Santa Claus. But do you
know that hundreds of years ago, Santa Claus was called by the name 'St.
Nicholas'?
Hundreds of years ago, Nicholas lived in a seaside
town named Myra which is now known as Turkey. Ever since Nicholas was a
small child, he loved God more than anything. He studied hard, prayed
often and followed God by helping the poor.
There was a man living
in Myra who was very poor. This man had no wife but he had three young
daughters who were of marriageable age. This man was so poor that he had
no money for his daughters' marriages. Nicholas heard about this man's
condition. One late night, Nicholas crept to the man's home and threw
something through the window. It was a bag of gold which was enough to
pay for his eldest daughter's wedding.
The man was overjoyed and his daughter was too. She married happily but
her father was still left with two younger daughters. Nicholas returned
one night and again threw a bag of gold through the window. The father
rejoiced but he wondered who was helping him and why.
Of course, Nicholas didn't want the man to know. He believed that it's best to help others without letting them know we're helping them. If we help others in this way, it proves that we help because we truly want to and not because to be praised by others for it.
But the father was determined to know who was helping him. He had one daughter left and no money for his youngest daughter's marriage. He certainly hoped he would be helped again, especially because he wanted to find out who was doing it. So, he locked the windows and watched the door. Nicholas still wanted to help but he didn't want to be seen. Therefore, in the back of the house far from the father's sight, he dropped the bag of gold for the third daughter right down the chimney!!
This way St. Nicholas helped the poor man and never expected anything in return for his help. He only thought about what he could give to those who needed help.

Anyone like St. Nicholas is actually a superhuman & such a person is blessed by God & all the Deities because of his nobility. In today's world, many people help others but they wish to be recognized well in the society & they wish to get something in return. But St.Nicholas was such kind of a person who always helped others & never expected anything in return. The law of nature says that if you help others without desiring anything in return, you would receive everything & would never find difficulty throughout your life.
