Simply must reblog the link to this post because not only does it share some fun info about the holiday traditions surrounding Father Christmas Or Saint Nicholas or Santa Claus; but Lorelei Cohen, the blog publisher, has earned extra points on my unofficial blog post ranking chart for visual appeal. The images are vintage and gorgeous!!  (NOTE:  The image immediately below the text is not an image found at the original post.  But it was so irresistible I couldn't resist sharing it along with the link reblog.)
