Yup.  I wasn't born, and the day in particular that I wasn't born on was
June 3, 1970.  Anyone else not born on this date?

Obligatory info:  I'm a recent Columbia grad still hanging around both the

Date: 13 Oct 92 11:04:25 GMT
Organization: University of Helsinki, Computing Centre

Happened to get to read some of the things re North Pole Penpals/Santa's 
address a bit late, but anyway...
Well I don't know how people actually came to connect Santa with Arctic 
areas, but the REAL "Santa Claus", Nicholas of Myra, lived in the 4th 
century in Lykia, in what now is Turkey...(being born in Turkey and a 
Catholic myself, I am somewhat interested in this saint that both 
orthodox and Catholic Christians have in common...) 
He was the bishop of that town and there are many legends about him - eg 
about his having prevented the killing of 4 innocent men in Myra. A church 
was built in his honour in Constantinople, and pilgrims used to go to his 
shrine to Myra - until in 1087, Italian sailors stole his earthly remains 
and brought them to Bari. A new church was built there for him.
St Nicholas is the patron saint of Greece and Russia and towns like Moscow 
and Fribourg(Switzerland). As he is told to have rescued sailors during his 
lifetime, he is regarded the patron of sailors, but also of children, 
students, etc.During the middle ages (all over Europe) the 6th of Dec., his 
day, was the occasion to elect a boy bishop who reigned until the feast of 
Holy Innocents on 28th Dec. The transformation into "Father Christmas" and "
Santa Claus" occured among protestants, and Dutch protestant settlers 
brought the Santa traditions to New Amsterdam, now New York, from where it 
spread all over the USA and came back into European children's lore.
From my own childhood as a German I remember that 6th Dec was an important 
day - the day when St Nicholas came at night to leave some goodies or little 
presents in socks or so for the children to find in the morning! He was NOT 
connected with Christmas itself though... I believe this is quite common in 
Central Europe.

*So, should we start posting our letters to Santa to Myra/Turkey instead?*

Hello, everyone.

	I never had a pen pal before, but it seems that this could be interesting.  So is there is anyone interesting out there?  When I say interesting, I mean slightly odd, witty with words, still keeps a straight neck on the shoulder.

	If you are such a person, I would like to start a line of communication.  

	I just turned 20 on Oct. 5.  I am a male electrical engineering student in the University of Florida.  I am specializing in Electronic Devices, that means making computer chips, and I am also a Pre-med student.  I am knowledgable in virtually all areas of science and engineering.  But I also study religion, theology, and magic (the real kind).
