Mac simply means “son of”, and Mc and M’ are simply abbreviations of Mac. Some think that Mc is Irish and Mac is Scottish, but this is not true. In both Ireland and Scotland, as well as other countries in the world this holds true. There are many spelling variations of names. For instance, some of the ways that the name Claus has been varied are; MacClaus, McClaus, M’Claus, Mclaus, Klaus, Klaws, etc. The usage of a capitol or lower case letter after the Mac is also just a variation. Some individuals insist on using a lower case letter in this case. This is not incorrect or correct, rather it is only a personal preference. Several reasons are behind these variations in a name. Some emigrants, who went to other countries, changed their own names to avoid persecution and ridicule. Some wanted to “Americanize” their names. Some individuals, while being processed through emigration in different countries, might have been illiterate and could not write or spell. In these cases the emigration officials wrote down what they interpreted the immigrant as having said and therefore many spelling variations and complete name changes occurred. .

Santa Claus (also known as Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Santy or simply Santa) is a folklore figure in various cultures who distributes gifts to children, normally on Christmas Eve . Each name is a variation of Saint Nicholas , but refers to Santa Claus. In today's North American, European and worldwide celebration of Christmas, people young and old simply refer to the hero of the season as Santa , or Santa Claus. (Wikipedia) Conventionally, Santa Claus is portrayed as a kindly, round-bellied, merry, bespectacled white man in a red coat trimmed with white fur, with a long white beard . On Christmas Eve, he rides in his sleigh pulled by flying reindeer from house to house to give presents to children. To enter the house, Santa Claus comes down the chimney and exits through the fireplace . During the rest of the year he lives together with his wife Mrs. Claus and his elves manufacturing toys . Some modern depictions of Santa (often in advertising and popular entertainment) will show the elves and Santa's workshop as more of a processing and distribution facility, ordering and receiving the toys from various toy manufacturers from across the world.

PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA First Edition The characters and events in this book are not fictitious. Any similarity to real persons, living or dead, is not coincidental and is intended by the author. 3 4 Introduction My name is Christopher Damitio. Lots of my friends and family know me as ‘Vago’ which is short for Vagabond. The nickname comes from a book I wrote in 2003 called Rough Living: Tips and Tales of a Vagabond. My life has been inspired by the great travelers, writers, and wanderers of the planet. My grandmother had a full collection of National Geographic Magazines from 1913 until she passed away. As a child, I used to spend hours reading them and looking at the pictures (not just the naked ones) while my siblings and cousins rode motorcycles, snow skied, and did other normal kid things. When I was nine-years-old, I took all the money I’d earned doing chores and went to my favorite store in our little town of Big Bear Lake, California. Village Books. I wanted to buy many books, but I settled on just one and it had a profound effect on my life. It was The Kids’ Book of Games for Cars, Trains, & Planes by Rudi McToots and Dreadnaught.

  • President Lion Becky Speeler
    December 2019 Vol 1 - Episode 3 - The Christmas special - As I sit here by the warm fire, drinking my cup of hot chocolate, I think about the Webster Groves LIONS. I think about the pride I have in our club. I think about the joy I feel knowing that we can help so many people. I think about the happiness we bring to the lives of the children we help at Christmas time with the Christmas gift donations. I think about the help we give to students, starting a new school year, with school supplies donated by our Club. I think about the hope we bring to a child fighting an immense battle with Pediatric Cancer. I think about the comfort we bring to their families with the comfort bags. I think about the person in need of glasses and the happy look on their face when we give the gift of sight for the first time. I think about the kids at Pancakes with Santa and the magic and wonder that fills their eyes when they see Santa. I think about the kids seeing the Easter Bunny and hunting for those candy filled eggs, and I see all the smiles on their faces. I think about the Peace Poster Contest and what peace means to our youth. I think about the tradition of The Football Luncheon, and how we celebrate the goodwill that it brings to those players, cheerleaders, and coaches. I think about Baseball/Softball Opening day, and all the kids running the fields with such excitement for Spring (and to get that tasty snack after their game).

  • The Myths, Mirths, Mysteries, and Mischiefs of Santa Claus
    1 This book is dedicated to my grandsons. In the beginning this was to be just a short, hopefully interesting, booklet for you. I began collecting Santas or Gift Givers dolls (pictured at end of book) 15 years ago at an art show in Pennsylvania. The first ones I chose were the ones representing the countries of our closest ancestors; Germany, Wales, England and the Netherlands. Having run out of countries with ties to our heritage, and still interested in acquiring more, I next bought ones from the countries we visited for Gramps’ overseas conferences. Each Gift Giver came with a single paragraph describing his or her role in the distribution of gifts. The artist told me she was writing a more comprehensive book and it was almost complete (around 1998). So I waited. Almost every year, I added another Gift Giver. No book. Then, in 2002, the artist suffered a major fire, destroying everything, including her book and gift givers. And, no, she did not computerize let alone use a back-up! I encouraged her to start the book again. Two years later, she told me that she had given up that project, and she also had stopped making Gift Givers and went in a different artistic direction. Okay. I could do this. I could expand the information of the Gift Givers I have, throw in some extra countries, and give the finished copy to you kids. It evolved into a far more ambitious project as one subject led to another, a strange word or tradition had me looking that up wondering how it came to be, leading to yet another oddity of Christmas.

    KFOR CHRONICLE COMKFORCOMKFOR letterletter forfor ChristmasChristmas 20052005 Dear KFOR members, dear friends, In almost any of our home-countries, whatever our faith may be, Christmas time is always a period of serenity, joy, hope and of family reunions. I truly believe that you, KFOR soldiers, are fully successful in helping all Kosovo people to spend these holidays in that serene, peaceful and joyous way they deserve. But I also understand what it means for you to be away from your families during this special time. I know well because, in 40 years of military service, it has happened to me so many times. Therefore, remember that, here in Kosovo, the whole KFOR is now your large family, and we will spend these days sharing the same feelings that families share. Finally, please pass my best wishes to your families and all loved ones. While it is hard for us to be away from home, it is even harder for them to bear our absence, although I am sure they all know how valuable your tour of duty in Kosovo is, as a member of a Peacekeeping force, giving to people the greatest of the gifts: the opportunity for Kosovo families to gather in security, peace and hope. Very Happy Christmas to all of you! Happy New Year 2006! Lieutenant-General Giuseppe VALOTTO Commander KFOR 2 Dec. 24, 2005 www.nato.int/kfor KFOR CHRONICLE KFORKFOR TheatreTheatre ChaplainChaplain My dear friends, As your chaplain, in these days of celebration I could not make you miss my word of hope and friendship.
