Actually this mountain is known as Camel's Hump.
However, 3 yr old Grandson, stretching to recall the name, recently referred to it as "Donkey's Hill." We think the name might stick. 😂

The Feast of St Nicholas
. . . This is what we should tell children about Santa Claus," Eich said. "He was bishop of Myra, in what's eastern Turkey, then the Greek-speaking Roman Empire. He was born in 280 A.D."
The name "Claus" derived as a corruption in pronunciation of the name, "Nicholas," Eich said. Children had a lot of problem saying St. Nicholas. St. Nicholas is a little hard to say. Children started simplifying it to Santa Claus. . . .
In the 1860s, cartoonist Thomas Nast refined the image of Santa Claus, and in the 1930s Coca-Cola advertising cartoonist Haddon Sundblom helped complete the evolution into a jolly, oversized elf with a kindly face. Gradually, the religious image was fully transformed into a secular icon. . . .
