St. Nicholas Day

St. Nicholas Day is celebrated on December 6 and is a special day to remember St. Nicholas, a kind and generous man who lived a long time ago. St. Nicholas was known for helping people in need, especially children. On St. Nicholas Day, some children leave their shoes out the night before, hoping to find small gifts or treats inside them the next morning, like candies, fruits, or small toys. It's a day to celebrate kindness and giving, reminding us to be helpful and caring to others, just like St. Nicholas was during his life.

How to celebrate St. Nicholas Day?

On St. Nicholas Day, you can celebrate by putting your shoes or stockings out the night before. In the morning, check for small gifts like candies, chocolates, or little toys that St. Nicholas may have left. Spend time with family, maybe decorating the house with festive lights. You could also bake some cookies together and enjoy them with hot chocolate. Sharing stories about St. Nicholas or doing a small kind act, like making a card for a friend, is a lovely way to celebrate. Singing holiday songs and playing games can make the day even more special and fun.
