Nikolausabend in Germany. All children put their boots

Also in Germany when I was little St. Nikolaus was dressed in the bishops outfit and his helper was dressed like Santa Claus.
I still celebrate with my family Christmas Eve instead of Christmas Day.

That sounds fun - and then you have presents again on Christmas Eve!
We only have one presents day - and that is Christmas Day. Traditionally children hang up a stocking on Christmas Eve and then try to get to sleep so Father Christmas can creep in and fill it. Sadly now, commercialism means that a stocking would be woefully inadequate!

We leave out cookies and milk for Santa Claus (St. Nicholas). He comes down the chimney and leaves gifts for good little children.
