Boston

 OK all you Bostonians, Red Sox fans, and Scrod eaters, did you know that the name of your city is quite Spiritual?  Not like the name "York" for that home of the Yankees.  Boston means "Botulf's Stone."  Way back in the 7th century there was an English monk/priest who was given land to build a monastery.  The land was thought to be demon infested, like many New Yorkers think of Boston today, because it was in a remote and marshy spot that no one else could find useful.  Anyway, Botulf was quite a holy master and drew guys from the region to become monks and help finish the monastery construction.  In time, the Danes came along and destroyed the place.  Stones remained lying around on the ground.  Thus one of them was called Botulf's Stone.  And there you have the roots of Boston.  I hope Santa was good to Boston.  Santa did find the monastery.
