The document discusses how St. Nicholas, a lean and tall Christian saint, transformed into the roly-poly Santa Claus in American tradition. It notes that Americans could not pronounce the German words for St. Nicholas ("Sankt Niklaus") and this led to the name "Santa" being adopted. It then lists some of the key physical and traditional differences between St. Nicholas and Santa Claus, such as their clothing, mode of transportation, appearance dates, and animal companions.

Was the image of Santa Claus really created by Coca-Cola? How come St Nicholas, a Middle-Eastern saint, is supposed to live in Lapland with elves and reindeer? Who is this freaky demonic Krampus figure that some Europeans have hanging around with him, and how does he fit into things? The roots of our cuddley, familiar Father Christmas may be stranger and more ancient than many realise...
For this Flikli Content Lab project, our illustrator Rocky tapped into his love of history to create an infographic for the holidays. The result is this infographic, which describes the historical roots of Christmas traditions that are often taken for granted.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

1. How did the kindly Christian saint
become a roly- poly Santa?
Here’s a possible answer:
The Americans couldn’t pronounce
German words Sankt Niklaus, and
that’s how Santa was born.
2. St. Nicholas is tall
and lean, whereas
Santa has a pretty
large belly.
St. Nicholas wears
bishop’s clothes, a
bishop’s hat- a
miter, and a crozier.
Santa is always in a
red suit, with soft
white fur.
3. St. Nick used to walk
on the Earth, while
Santa usually flies in
a sleigh.
St. Nicholas day is on
the 19th
December, while
Santa usually appears
at New Year in
Serbian tradition, and
at Christmas in
Western cultures.
4. The donkey belongs to
Nicholas, and the reindeer
belong to Santa. Santa
comes from the North
pole, and Nicholas comes
from a place Myra, what’s
now Turkey.
5. Nick gives his
presents secretly,
and Santa acts
like a film star.
6. What is their mutual message?
Be kind and helpful to your friends and family,
and remember that it is greater happiness to
give presents than to receive them!
