“ The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other.” Every little kid's favorite time of year is the Christmas season with all the cookies, the presents, the candy canes, and especially going to sit on Santa Claus’s lap. But ever since last year, Macy’s Department Store in New York City made all that change.

He did this for each one of the three daughters. St. Nicholas was known for his kindness and was known “as the protector of children and sailors”. Who knew that years later he would be known as the one and only Santa
