Santa Claus

The giver of every good and perfect gift has called upon us to mimic God's giving, by grace, through faith, and this is not of ourselves.
(St. Nicholas of Myra)

To mark St Nicholas' Day, here is the statue of the man himself above the door of my church - St Nicholas, Durham. Here is the explanation of the statue from the church guide, including why he's clutching a boat! More about the man here.
