I'm narrating about NYC's deep connections with Santa Claus, an historical webinar that touches upon peace (instead of violence and bigotry), patriotism, political networking, and prosperity.

Santa is naughty and nice!

This is not necessarily for children. If little Santa believers are along, please prepare them that this historical survey may not match your family's view of Santa.

December 5th 2023 8pm from NYC.

Happy St Nicholas Day Eve.

1624-1822: Dutch Nieuw Amsterdamers and New Yorkers Celebrate Sinter Klaas' Eve (St Nicholas Day Eve).

The evening is still the traditional Dutch night of gift-giving and gifts from Sinter Klaas, who, with Black Peter, goes down the chimney after landing on the roof with a flying horse.

Sinter's gifts go in the good childrens' wooden shoes. Bad children get a switch stick.

Chirstmastime is not a big gift giving day for the Dutch, more of a quiet church and family time.

They celebrate him on the eve of his Saint Day because the Dutch Reformation prohibited celebrating Saints Days, but Saint Nicholas is very popular!

I hosted a Santa Claus' NYC webinar.

I am spending most of the proceeds to pay for my holiday gifts! :D

The rest will go to the Jacob Riis Youth Academy to help kids succeed through education and activities that make a difference. Jacob Riis enlisted Santa Claus to inspire generosity, including founding that youth center over a century ago.

“The mission of Jacob A. Riis Neighborhood Settlement is to build and strengthen underserved communities in Western Queens and act as a catalyst for change.”

In 1810, on this date, Santa Claus was born at a New-York Historical Society dinner. Santa was summoned here by the New-York Historical Society, which needed Santa Claus to promote patriotism, peace among our diverse populace, and prosperity.

He is America's SinterKlaas, or St. Nicholas, born in 343.

Happy St. Nicholas Day, December 6th!

If you are interested in learning and experiencing Santa's development in NYC, I am leading a webinar on December 22nd 2020 at 5:30

The evening is still the traditional Dutch night of gift-giving and gifts from Sinter Klaas, who, with Black Peter, goes down the chimney after landing on the roof with a flying horse.

Sinter's gifts go in the good childrens' wooden shoes. Bad children get a switch stick for whipping.

Chirstmastime is not a big gift giving day for the Dutch, more of a quiet church and family time.

Sinter Klaas inspired the birth of Santa Claus in New York City, spreading his fame, and popularizing Christmas for family, good behavior, patriotism, and gift giving.
