It is in troubled times that it becomes most imperative for art to reflect the goodness in the world. With the lack of inspiring family entertainment that Hollywood offers today, there is no better time to tell the story of Nicholas of Myra -- one that does not undo the cherished myth we all grew up with, but instead, reinforces the hope and kindness it kindled within us as children.
The story leaves no doubt that Santa Claus is for real, and that he is as much a sacred part of Holiday tradition as he is secular. He is for people of all ages, and really, not just those who celebrate Christmas. The origins of many of our age-old traditions are woven together like never before in this dramatic and layered tale that, until now, has been lost to the lore that replaced it for nearly two hundred years.
