From "Twas the Night before Christmas: A Visit from St. Nicholas" by Moore, Clement Clarke
St. Nicholas
The legendary gift-giver who visits homes on Christmas Eve.
Core Belief
"Spreading joy and happiness through the delivery of gifts is a sacred duty."
Worldview
He sees the world as a place filled with children deserving of happiness and wonder. He views himself as a conduit of joy, traveling the world to fulfill his mission of bringing Christmas cheer.
Personality
He is jolly, plump, and energetic, a "right jolly old elf." He is efficient and focused on his task, delivering toys with a sense of purpose and good cheer. He is also somewhat mysterious, communicating primarily through actions and a final, heartfelt wish.
In Their Own Words
"“Now, _Dasher!_ now, _Dancer!_ now, _Prancer_ and _Vixen!_ On, _Comet!_ on, _Cupid!_ on, _Donder_ and _Blitzen!_ To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall! Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!”"
"But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, _“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night.”_"
"He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,"
