Growing up German, St. Nicholas Day was a very big deal for us. And still is. A boot is put outside the door on the night of the 5th of December. St. Nicholas fills the boot with candy, chocolate and small gifts. As kids we liked to use my Dad's shoes because they were obviously bigger, which meant more candy! In the morning, on December 6th, we would race to see what St. Nicholas brought us.
To me St. Nicholas Day is super special! It reminds me of my heritage. It is also the start of the Christmas season.
I want to wish all of you a very HAPPY ST. NICHOLAS DAY !!!!
