About this listen

In this interview with William Federer, we explore the origins of Santa Claus—Saint Nicholas, or Sinter Klaas. We learn about Nicholas, the 3rd‑century bishop of Myra in Asia Minor (present‑day Turkey), and how, over time, stories of his holy and generous life were embellished into legend. We also discover how Christmas traditions were shaped by author Washington Irving, minister Clement Moore, Civil War illustrator Thomas Nast, and Coca‑Cola artist Haddon Sundblom.

Every child’s first school is their home. Homeschool Companion strives to support the 2 million families that home school their children each year.
