St. Nicholas' Day - Dec. 6 annually

 from Old Farmer's Almanac / / / www.almanac.com

"Leaving shoes out" (chapter in longer article)

The most common way to celebrate St. Nicholas Day is to leave shoes out for St. Nicholas to place small gifts in. Socks are fine, too.

Traditionally, the gifts are simply small candies or coins—little items that bring a lot of joy for children. If you wish to celebrate this tradition, leave shoes or wooden clogs by the door on the evening of December 5.

In the morning, the shoes will be fillled with small delights (candy canes, spare change, foreign coins).
