The Myra rock tombs, in Demre, Antalya, Anatolia, Turkey.
Rock tombs on the site of the city of Myra, one of the largest members of the Lycian league, and home of St Nicholas of Myra, of Santa Claus fame. The city has been a part of the Ancient Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires, and the rock tombs date back to the Lycian period (168 BC–43 AD).

Here he comes, out of the north! Santa is getting closer!
There is still much preparation as the last week before Christmas is terribly busy for Santa. The gifts must be sorted (Billions of them!) and the sleigh must be maintenanced, and the reindeer must be checked.
But even with all the busy work right now, Santa's heart is bright and cheerful thinking of the children's faces!

When I approached Fairbanks on the AlCan highway a few years back I had to stop here for a bit. This is where Santa letters from the North Pole originated and are sent from.
"It all started with a Santa suit:
When Con and Nellie Miller arrived in Fairbanks, Alaska in 1949, they had $1.40 in cash and two hungry kids. Determined to carve out a living in the new territory of Alaska, Con soon became a merchant and fur buyer in the surrounding villages. Donning an old red Santa suit each Christmas, Con earned celebrity status as Santa Claus in the eyes of the village children - the first St. Nick many had ever seen.
By 1952, the Millers had decided to build a trading post thirteen miles south of Fairbanks, in an area newly dubbed "North Pole." One day, while hard at work on the new store, a young Alaskan boy recognized Con and asked, "Hello, Santa Claus! Are you building a new house?" Inspiration clicked, the new store would be called "Santa Claus House!"
In those early days, however, Santa Claus House offered more basic necessities than it did Christmas treasures. Situated between two military installations and right in the middle of developing North Pole, Santa Claus House became an impromptu gathering place for area residents. In addition to purchasing their groceries, locals could mingle at the soda fountain or pick up their daily mail, as Santa Claus House, under the direction of Postmistress Nellie Miller, was a mail contract station and served as North Pole's first Post Office for almost 20 years.
As the community grew and changed over the following years, so did Santa Claus House. In 1972 the state rerouted the Richardson Highway, bypassing the store's location. Undaunted, the Millers built a new storefront on the new four-lane highway, which is the store's location to this day. Inside, the store's emphasis on Christmas delights slowly replaced the aisles of well-stocked canned goods.
Although Santa Claus House changed, the Miller family's commitment to the community of North Pole did not. Con Miller served as the mayor of North Pole for 19 years (the city's longest serving mayor) while Nellie Miller acted as Marriage Commissioner for the community, marrying thousands of couples inside Santa Claus House.
Santa Claus House has also received international recognition and publicity from writers, newspapers, and television programs the world over.
The Santa Claus House family tradition, begun over 65 years ago by Con and Nellie Miller, continues as following generations of Millers build on the past and look forward to the future. But, whether sending Santa letters to boys and girls around the world, or greeting visitors to Santa Claus House, you know that when they wish you a "Merry Christmas!" they know what they're talking about!" santaclaushouse.com
Wishing all those traveling to be with loved ones a safe trip. Old Man Winter isn't making it easy this season.

The outcome to last night's St. Nick "Bribe Money" photo: St. Nick took the $1.35 in change and left $2.00 in it's place. He also filled the kids' stockings to the top and wrote a little note to both in response to the notes they left for him. It was a magical morning!
