Dear Santa, Before I explain, how much do you know already?

Well, it�s that time of year again when the Jolly BIG GUY makes his rounds. He�s been doing this every Christmas Eve for a long time. In fact, historically Santa�s origins may have began in Turkey:
The legend of Santa Claus can be traced back hundreds of years to a monk named St. Nicholas. It is believed that Nicholas was born sometime around A.D. 280 in Patara, near Myra in modern-day Turkey. Much admired for his piety and kindness, St. Nicholas became the subject of many legends (history.com).
The point is, he�s been at this for awhile and isn�t getting any younger (or slimmer). All those cookies and Cokes left out by good intentioned children have taken a toll. Getting in/out of chimney passages is progressively more challenging.But, fear not children there is a way to help Santa get into your home safely, it�s called �VISITABILITY.�
