The Gifts of Nicholas: Success His Legacy

By James Marion King

Jim, the main character, wakes up on Christmas Eve to the miracles of St. Nicholas where he begins to learn that the meaning of Christmas lies in the meaning of life.

The story unfolds as Jim discovers the letter that he had written to Santa when he was a young boy. Santa writes back an unusual letter to Jim filled with Christmas carol titles in his unique script, which fills Jim with Christmas magic.

JMK leads us on a unique journey of prose and poetry centered on the realization where we can all change our daily challenges into wonderful successes.

We will speak in rhyme
Our message deep
For you to reap
Christmas has grown
Well tell you how
To you we endow
