Most people know that Christmas is when we celebrate Jesus' birthday…even if he wasn't actually born at Christmas. But what about the other start of the Advent season? Jolly Old Saint Nick (AKA Santa Claus).
How on Earth did we go from the birthday of the Savior of the World to big old guy in a red suit?! And why does he go down chimneys? And exactly why do we give gifts to each other when it's not even our birthday? This and more will be answered in this very concise history of Santa and Christmas.
Note: This book is taken from Bethlehem, the Year Jesus Was Born.
