Today it's HIS day!
Although it's said Noël, in French, that means 'day of birth', the occasion we celebrate the saint is on the day of his death....
The first time he was cited stablishing his relation with Christmas, was in 1822 by Clement Clark Moore.
In the poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" the patron of children, was described as Santa Claus, giving them gifts in the Eve Christmas. Maybe that's why this opus is also called "The Night Before Christmas".
In fact, he hadn't wear yet a red suit. Created by Haddon Sundblom, this image we all know nowadays: the fatter figure of a old man, came in 1920, with Coke (Coca-Cola) advertisings.

The biginning with conspicuous consumption linked with Christmas Holiday!
Anyway...
I have just to thank him for giving me graces ♥
