A very popular tradition, probably all over the world...in the name of the Saint Nikolaus of Myra, the parents secretly place some little gifts for the children during the night before St. Nikolaus Day.

I´ve written a little introduction about this custom on our blog - about the true Saint Nikolaus who is not the same like the Christmas man...

Hello,

we also celebrate Saint Nikolaus in Belgium (Saint Nicolas), it's one of my favorite days of the year.

I work with kids and every year, it's so cute to see their reactions when Saint Nicolas (well someone dressed up as him of course ^_^ ) come to school
