Hu, ip, et aima Santa C taus to Se ■ privalt Pfoprfly While the claim may cause the rest of America to bristle. New Yorkers insist that Santa Claus is peculiarly New York's own. Not only did he land in Manhattan with the Dutch settlers, they point out, but for almost two hundred years he never took his activities or presents out of New York state, The New Yorkers advance some interesting points to bolster their contentions. They declare that in the genial company of Washington Irv.ng. James Kirke Paulding and Clement Clarke Moore, Santa Claus gradually-lost the grim, stern aspect he wore when he arrived with the Dutch settlers to the bulging, benevolent mien he now offers. It was In New Yo«k. too, they assert, that Santa required his reindeer sleigh and his habit of arriving on Christmas instead of on the Dutch St. Nicholas eve l December 5). And thus, in his New York panoply, he finally found his way to all parts of the United States, England and even Australia and India. Indeed, as the New Yorkers will tell you. New York, as New Amsterdam in the beginning, was dedicated to Santa Claus, or St. Nicholas. by its Dutch founders For Santa Claus—or Sinterklaas, as it is sometimes written tn Holland—is of course only the centuries-old pet name which Dutch children gave to their patron and gift bringer, the good Bishop St. Nicholas. And it is said that the ship which brought the first Dutch children to Manhattan island bore his face as figurehead. From the first, too. his special day of December 6, was set aside with Christmas, New Year's, Easter and Whitsuntide, as one of the five chief holidays of the new colony, just as it had been in Holland. So, year after year, as regularly as St. Nicholas eve came around in New Amsterdam, in Breuckelen (Brooklyn), in Fort Orange (Albany) and many other hamlets above the icy Hudson, the children in every good Dutch family gathered in expectant circle. For weeks beforehand they had learned their lessons and helped with the milking and churning in an agony of good behavior. And now, all ready, they sang their song to Santa Claus. In the midst of the song would come a knocking al the door and in would stride Santa Claus, himself—not round and Jolly, but solemn and majestic in trailing robes. In one band he might have a basket of presents or a purse, but In the other was sure to be a birch red—an awful warning to a naughty bey. Santa questioned each child in turn about his behavior in the year Just past and gave him a pat of approval or a warning shake of the head, as the record indicated. Then, bidding them all look for presents in the morning, the good saint suddenly flung a handful of lollipops into the room and, in the ensuing scramble, vanished into the night. Then the children set out#their sabots, or later the great blue yarn stockngs made for the purpose. However he did it—and the tale varies in many lands—Santa Claus got about, for in the morning over the hearth steaming with waffles and sausages and other good Dutch fare, were the blue stockings bulging with apples, balls, dolls and tops.
