More formally: St. Nicholas of Myra, born on this day in 270 AD.
In addition to being the patron saint of children, he is also the patron saint of sailors, merchants, archers, repentant thieves, brewers, pawnbrokers, unmarried people, and students. The Queen Of Thee World swears that he's also patron saint of christmas trees and chimneys, but I hadn't heard that before.
