"Kriss Kringle
by
Thomas Bailey Aldrich

Just as the moon was fading
Amid her misty rings,
And every stocking was stuffed
With childhood’s precious things,

Old Kriss Kringle looked around,
And saw on the elm-tree bough,
High hung, an oriole’s nest,
Lonely and empty now.

"Quite a stocking," he laughed,
"Hung up there on a tree!
I didn’t suppose the birds
Expected a present from me!"

Then old Kriss Kringle, who loves
A joke as well as the best,
Dropped a handful of snowflakes
Into the oriole’s empty nest."

In the 16th century, in the midst of the Reformation, Martin Luther believed praying to any saint was against Scripture. In an attempt to move Protestant followers from St. Nicholas, Luther and his followers introduced the idea of “Das Christkind” (German for “Christ-child”). Das Christkind, or "Christ Child" would come on Christmas Eve to bring presents to all good children. Christkind was modified to Kriss Kringle in the mid 19th century as a nickname for Santa Claus in non-German countries.
