Families can talk about the real St. Nicholas and how a third-century bishop became a roly-poly holiday icon. The site offers a Christian perspective on the life of St. Nicholas and makes suggestions on how he should be honored today.

One of the features that makes this site unique is its inclusion of different cultures. Kids (and parents, too) are sure to learn something new in "Around the World," which describes how St. Nicholas and Christmas customs vary among 20 different countries, from Austria to the Ukraine. There's also a section that features drawings of St. Nick, submitted by kids from countries in Europe. Visitors who are looking for more hands-on activities will enjoy the simple animated games. They're mostly for younger kids, but older kids will be challenged by the second word search.
