The Christian liturgical calendar commemorates today, Dec. 6, as the Feast of St. Nicholas, the original Santa Claus.

It falls on the day after Ron Santo’s belated election to the Hall of Fame.

How appropriate somehow; for Cubs fans, this feels something like Santa showing up on Dec. 26. You’re grateful for the gift, of course, but “aw geez, what took you so long?”
