Nikolaustag Eve
Children put a boot outside their door before bed. In the morning, the boot contains sweets, nuts, and a small gift from St. Nikolaus. The boot must be clean. St. Nikolaus does not reward dirty boots. The tradition is older than the Weihnachtsmann by centuries. The Nikolaus is the saint. The Weihnachtsmann is the commercial figure. The distinction matters.
