"This virus arrives in email. Just delete it! Several people, who have me on their email lists, have sent this thing to me. More than six times a day I delete this thing. Enough already! Geesh!!!."
	Brief History of Santa by Juelie McLean: Santa has not always appeared the way we think of him today. The first well-known gift-giver was a true person--St. Nicholas. He lived in Myra (today we know it as Turkey) in about 300A.D. Born an only child of a wealthy family, he was orphaned at an early age when both parents died of the plague. He grew up in a monastery and at the age of 17 became one of the youngest priests ever. "A very interesting and classy site folks. Pay Juelie a visit and drop her a note."
