At last, all these Christmas mysteries and some of the hobby traditions are coming clear.
All of the below is copied and pasted from various sites online. Just thought I'd share without getting into a discussion about "saving."
Cheers and happy holidays and new year!!!

Most of us are aware of the fact that Saint Nicholas is embodied as the modern day Santa Claus because of his reputation to give secret gifts.
In his most famous exploit, however, a poor man had three daughters but could not afford a proper dowry for them. This meant that they would remain unmarried and, probably, in the absence of any other potential employment, would have to become prostitutes. Hearing of the poor man’s plight, Nicholas decided to help him. However, being too modest (or too shy) to help the man in public, (or knowing the man too proud to accept charity), he went to his house under the cover of night and threw three purses filled with gold coins through the window opening onto the man’s floor.

Naybe that's where he came up with the "Ho,Ho,Ho," bit lol
The “Naughty or Nice” list was the precursor for TER, and thus began the tradition of fat old men bearing gifts visiting women based on their profiles.

If I had been at that house with a shitload of gold coins there would still be a story about me and those three daughters but with a very different ending! 
So, he just "threw three purses" at them without even getting laid? He donated but didn't get sessions? I think he did. In my version he did. They just didn't wanna say that in the article. Lol.
