After a time, St. Nick and the stocking hanging custom was incorporated into the celebration of Christmas. Another legend says that on Christmas eve the spirit of St. Nich olas rode across the land on a great white horse followed by the hosts of innocents slain in Bethlehem by the order of Herod. Children of the Northland filled their wooden shoes with oats for the Saint’s horse and set them outside of the door; in the morning, providing the children had been good, the oats were gone and the shoes were filled with nuts and apples. Eventually, the boys and younger children, the wives and husbands, and even the grandparents, decided the girls were getting too much the best of things; so, they all joined the International Society of Stock ing-hangers. Our ancestors brought St. Nick to America, where he has grown round and fat and jovial, traded his great white horse for eight magic rein deer, and his pack bulged bigger and bigger. This year Santa’s pack may be minus a few luxury products and mechanical gadgets, but that doesn’t matter as long as there are mamma dolls, sleds and drums and picture books; toys for the children.

Dear Santa: Bring Present, or Else . . . $ $ $ Among the thousands of letters addressed to Santa which never get to North Pole, one—showing faith in Santa's kindliness—was mailed by a youngster in Brook lyn. The young one's name was .Mike. He definitely didn’t want Santa Claus to miss him. From his associations with the neigh borhood gang, Mike thought he knew how to get results. He sat down and with pen and ink wrote a letter to the white- bearded old fellow. After listing the toys he wanted, he added: "You better bring all this stuff or I'll heat you to a wood pulp.” Intimidation is not so good. But do you think Mike got what he wanted?
