If St. Nicholas had been a Filipino, he would probably have delivered sacks of rice to families instead of toys to children. That is what I got to do for our staff the days before Christmas, and I was taken off-guard by how very happy it made them. I will not forget what it was like to step over the doorway into Lucy's home in Antipolo, and to be greeted like the Spirit of Christmas itself. Thank you to all the many St. Nicks who made this possible.
