The kind people of Lycia taught him the lessons of goodness and generosity, which he began to practice as a child by sharing his wealth with those in need. As a young man Nicholas realized that his generosity had bestowed upon him special abilities to distribute his presents to deserving children everywhere. For example, he had stopped aging and could travel very, very rapidly. And so it was that Santa broadened his gift-giving and spread his belief in the goodness of giving.
