Did you know you are the patron saint of Theives, Virgins, and Communist Russia?

Actually, this is what I knew of.
The true story of Santa Claus begins with Nicholas, who was born during the third century in the village of Patara. At the time the area was Greek and is now on the southern coast of Turkey. His wealthy parents, who raised him to be a devout Christian, died in an epidemic while Nicholas was still young. Obeying Jesus' words to "sell what you own and give the money to the poor," Nicholas used his whole inheritance to assist the needy, the sick, and the suffering. He dedicated his life to serving God and was made Bishop of Myrawhile still a young man. Bishop Nicholas became known throughout the land for his generosity to the those in need, his love for children, and his concern for sailors and ships.
Under the Roman Emperor Diocletian, who ruthlessly persecuted Christians, Bishop Nicholas suffered for his faith, was exiled and imprisoned. The prisons were so full of bishops, priests, and deacons, there was no room for the real criminals-murderers, thieves and robbers. After his release, Nicholas attended the Council of Nicaea in AD 325. He died December 6, AD 343 in Myra and was buried in his cathedral church, where a unique relic, called manna, formed in his grave. This liquid substance, said to have healing powers, fostered the growth of devotion to Nicholas. The anniversary of his death became a day of celebration, St. Nicholas Day.

Well, Warm welcomes to you as well and thank you for your patronage.
From how I was raised, things like this should not offend anyone.
Your actions are not relevant to the cause or belief of such a person who would join a forum with a positive outlook on a small community only to he criticized.
It's ok, there are people who believe this is a good thing, though I don't know yet how I should contribute to the forum, your actions and opinions will not discourage my contributions.
I wish you had a more positive outlook during this time of year.
Just be nice, you want to be on the list right ?

I value a selfless bishop's patronage to the cause of humanity just as much as the next guy, but with the advertisement whore-out Saint Nick has received over the past 100 years you can't help but mock him a little.
For example, the image of your avatar and countless other images are formed by a generalization by Thomas Nast, a German immigrant to the United States during the Gilded Age.
