Father Marcel Taillon joins Patrick to discuss St. Nicholas: Generosity * (4:07) Who was Saint Nicholas? * (12:58) What is the importance of Generosity? * Charles - Comment about a generous person who helped me at Christmastime several years ago.

They knew I didn’t have money for Christmas for my kids so they sent me a check (anonymously). Found out last year. * Rejean - Something our family did in gift giving. Radio station had gift drive and they had a book of requests from local families. We participated. * Marie - we were a family of 8. St. Nicholas always came to the barn. Got apples and hard candies.
