Guys you might not believe this - but Santa is REAL. Now this might sound funny coming from a Jew, but I have recently been given this information from a Dutch client in Spain.
I don't know if I have all the facts right but I'll give it a whirl. Apparantly there was this guy Nicholas, who was a Spaniard. Every December, he would boat over from Spain to Holland to deliver presents to the good boys and girls. I think this happened around Dec 5, weeks before your Christmas. Anyway, Nick would take his presents from the sack and give them out to the good ones - and he would THROW THE BAD ONES INTO THE SACK!!!
Then he would take them back on his boat to Spain to make presents year round for the next year's good kids.
Why he was sainted I don't know. But if you know any Dutch people, now would be a great time to ask them. I probably mutilated the story a little but it's not far from what I was told. I did confirm this with several unrelated Dutch people and they all gave a similar story.
