That is why he is called <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Saint <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nicholas, for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">saint <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">means holy. Now holiness takes many forms. From the stories that Christians told over the centuries, the strikingly holy thing about Nicholas is that he had learned from Jesus what we might call <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the law of the gift<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The law of the gift is very simple, although most of us have had a hard time learning it and an even harder time living it. The law of the gift is this: the more you give, the more you receive.\u201d (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/God-Us-Rediscovering-Meaning-Christmas\/dp\/1612617077\/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=God+With+Us&amp;qid=1639674364&amp;sr=8-1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">God With Us, Paraclete Press, 2007<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote><p>I like to think St. Nicholas was a God-fearer, a believer in Immanuel, God with us. I like to believe he did what he did because his faith demanded nothing less.\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It just so happened that when my daughter asked her question, we were lighting the Advent candle for \u201cLove.\u201d The discussion turned to giving gifts, how fun they were to receive, but also to give! We give gifts because we want to show love and care. God gave us the gift of Jesus because He loves and cares for us!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How wonderful to also point to the story of the real Saint Nicholas as another example of sacrificial love at Christmas.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve continued to do some fun Santa traditions at our house. But since that day back when my daughter asked her big question, we\u2019ve made sure to also talk about the man behind the myth. Because Saint Nicholas practiced what he preached, lives were changed. His story points to the bigger Story behind it all. That\u2019s the story we share at Christmas\u2026and all year!<\/span><\/p><p><strong>To read with your family: <\/strong><a
