Is he a man, is he a saint? Where did he come from? What makes him so special?

Have you ever asked yourself where does the story of St. Nicholas come from? So many legends and stories started with real people who were inspired to do something different and then became legends.
The fairies, elves and gnomes have long held keys to awaken humankind to the wisdom within. In the story of St. Nicholas, it is this inspiration fromt he elves that opened the door for a man named Nicholas to become a saint.

In the humble beginnings, Nicholas was a simple man who had the talent and ability to craft children's toys from wood. With a few simple pieces of wood the fairies and elves inspired him to create small toys for children who were poor, who had no toys and who had very hard lives as the sons and daughters of farmers.

These toys were to help the children open up their imagination which had been shut down from the long hours of toil and difficulty. To bring the joy back to the children who had lost their joy in the daily struggle for life and the harshness of survival during the long, cold, snowy winters.

The toys - inspired by elves, did just that. The children were overjoyed and peace and happiness came back to the people and to the land. Each year the need for the simple toys made by Nicolas grew and each year the elves inspired him with new ideas and creations.

What started as a small idea kept growing each year until Nicholas would spend all his days creating toys to get ready for Christmas. Because he devoted so much time and love to his project people thought he must be a saint and so he was eventually recognized for his inspiration, devotion an dedication to the children all over the world who needed to be uplifted, to have joy in their lives.

May all children on Earth be inspired, uplifted and filled with joy....Thank you Nicholas, you are truly a Saint!

May our children be recognized for the joy and laughter they bring into our lives.

May we strive to make their lives lighter, easier and more joyful. May we help them to discover and manifest their special gifts and talents with grace and ease, allowing them to be all they came to be and supporting their visions and dreams. As we support their visions and dreams we make the circle of lfe even stronger.....

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!!
