This is one of the most accessible re-tellings of the St Nicholas story that I've come across. While his feast day is actually 6th December, the association of Father Christmas with Santa Clause means that it's appropriate to remember this here.

Nicholas continued helping people. He always tried to help secretly. He didn't want any attention or thanks. Years passed and he was chosen to be a bishop. Bishops look after their people as shepherds look after their sheep. And that is what Nicholas did. When there wasn't any food, he found wheat; so no one went hungry. He always helped people in trouble. All his life Nicholas showed people how to love God and care for each other.
