No. I'm not normal.

@ElephantStomp one of the biggest things that doesn't sit right with me is seeing people post "in my prayers." I've been sarcastic with you about "sending my thoughts."
I've seen these pastors do this. Because I wanted proof.

St Nick or Santa Claus is based off a real Orthodox Saint from the 4th century. .
There was a certain formerly rich inhabitant of Patara, whom Saint Nicholas saved from great sin. The man had three grown daughters, and in desperation he planned to sell their bodies so they would have money for food. The saint, learning of the man’s poverty and of his wicked intention, secretly visited him one night and threw a sack of gold through the window. With the money the man arranged an honorable marriage for his daughter. Saint Nicholas also provided gold for the other daughters, thereby saving the family from falling into spiritual destruction. In bestowing charity, Saint Nicholas always strove to do this secretly and to conceal his good deeds
