Though Santa makes an early appearance for the Christmas shopping season. youngsters can count on it that he'll come back again on Christmas Eve mak-nz a perfect landing on many rooftop in his reindeer - drawn sleigh.

His arrival in this fashion was first described by Dr. Clement C. Moore in 1823. when he wrote “The Night Before Christmas."

Even then. Santa didn't have. his bright red suit. Dr. Moorel reported he was "dressed all in for from his head to his foot." He did. however. have th beard. which unfortunately was covered with "ashes and soot." during his trip down the chimn- e

Santa kept his beard and ic- quired his now- traditional red suit later on. when Cartoonist Thomas Nasl depicted him in a drawing in 1869.

ion Christmas Eve for a ong. long time. Referring to the jol- ly old gentleman in "Knicker- bocker History of New York." in 1809, Washington lrving de- . scribed him as wearing a broad- Iibrimmed hat and huge breech- es.

Earlier a book called “The Children's Friend" told of “San‘

lteclaus" and observed that he

was dressed like a bishop. A bishop's garb for the Chris- tmas gift giver goes back to the

. first of all Santas. St. Nicholas.

a bishop in Asia Minor in t e fifth century AD. he story goes that St. Nichol-

1 as wanted to help the three dau- , ghters of a' man too poor to givei

them the dowries they needed in order to marry. Since he wished his gifts to be anony- , mous. he threw a bag of gold 1 down the chimney of their home

every Christmas Eve for three. years. until all the daughters were married. l

0n the third Christmas. the father surprised St. Nicholas in the act of tossing the gold into the chimney. Next day. he told everyone of the good saint's kin ncss. ‘

In later years St. Nicholas be- came the patron saint of chil- dren. He traveled by horseback. wearing his bishop's robes. to deliver gifts to good children on the eve of his day. December 7

St. Nicholas "traveled" with the. New World and gradually evolved into Santa Claus. al- though his original name still lives on in a nickname— a "nick name indeed. since It's St. Nick.

Whatever Santa is called Pere Noe. Father Christmas. ; Kris Kringle. Grandfather. Frost -—children eagerly await him on . Christmas Eve! i
