Christmas humor

A few days ago, my son's composition teacher handed out copies of a short essay, written by David Sedaris, for the class to read.

Is it on the internet? Why yes, right here.

Not to nit-pick, but there was a Saint Nicholas of Myra, in Asia Minor (modern day Turkey). And I suppose the Dutch didn't intentionally come up with their traditions, with the goal in mind of giving us twenty-first century Americans a laugh.

But it is funny. Enjoy!
