One of my Aunts was of Slovak heritage. We used to stop by her house to visit during the holidays, if only for a couple hours, as we had so very many relations to visit. Under her tree was a statue. It was Santa Claus, in red suit, hat in hand, as he knelt down to visit the newborn Jesus. My aunt had it there to remind her children that Jesus was more important than Santa Claus.

ONE OF MY CHRISTMAS MEMORIES
