Szent Mikulás

How did I not know about St. Nicholas Day until High School? Is it a religious-based holiday or simply European? I'm thinking the latter, but let me know if you know otherwise.

Regardless of its origins, were you found to be naughty or nice this year? Did your favorite boots/shoes contain chocolate, candies, apples, and dates or switches, potatoes, stones, and wooden spoons?



I did not find either. Not celebrating this particular holiday, I choose instead to have an Advent Calendar filled with 24 days of treats - thanks Mom and John!
