In honor of St. Nicholas Day, here is my favorite Christmas story: 6 to 8 Black Men by David Sedaris.
The Christmas/St. Nicholas portion of the story starts about 3 minutes in. But you should really listen to the whole thing.
Parents, this is a particularly good story if your kids are misbehaving around the holidays (or any time, really.) Or, if you are like my family, you can go with the story of the Belsnickel instead. Or, if your kids have been really terrible, go with the Krampus story. He is sure to frighten even the toughest children. (But apparently Krampus is becoming too commercialized. So use him sparingly?)
