Santa Claus, Kriss Kringle, or St. Nicholas Fully Illustrated.

A playful, rhyming conversation reveals the many names associated with the beloved Christmas gift-bringer. When a curious little girl catches him, she asks whether he prefers Santa Claus, Kriss Kringle, or St. Nicholas—and receives a warm, humorous answer shaped by family life, winter traditions, and holiday preparations.

Fully illustrated in a charming nineteenth-century style, this brief seasonal story presents its central figure not only as a magical visitor to children, but also as a husband with a gentle sense of humor. His wife’s different names for him reflect changing moods and occasions, from a sleigh ride through the frosty air to a solemn Sunday at church and the cheerful work of loading presents for Christmas Day. Written in lively verse, it is a nostalgic read-aloud suited to holiday listening and family gatherings.
