Saint Nicholas versus Santa Claus

I was going to write a nice long post but the 'Bad Catholic' beat me to it. I hope Saint Nicholas left everyone something fun in their shoes yesterday!

You were revealed to your flock as a measure of faith. 

You were the image of humility and a teacher of self-control.

Because of your humble life, heaven was opened to you. 

Because of your poverty, 

spiritual riches were granted to you. 

O holy Bishop Nicholas we cry out to you: 

Pray to Christ our God that our souls may be saved.
