St. Nicholas Tag


Children in Germany are eagerly looking forward to Saturday night and Sunday, Dec. 5 and 6. Some might be lucky enough to have St. Nick knock on their doors on Saturday evening. If he does, he will ask them how they have been during the past year. He will also ask them what they want for Christmas. The children, hoping for great things at Christmas time, might sing a song for St. Nick or recite a prayer. St. Nick might also note that a scary figure named "Schwarzer Peter" has accompanied him in an attempt to scare the "bad" children into being better during the advent season.


If St. Nick does not show up on Saturday, children will leave their slippers out in front of their bedroom doors. Typically, they will wake up on Sunday morning to tasty candy treats overflowing in their slippers.


Happy St. Nicholas Day!
