We always get gold-foil-wrapped chocolate coins and pajamas. :) I got a super-comfy night gown this year. I hope they let me take it to the convent. LOL

The shoes thing?

 

Any of this. I have never heard of people celebrating Saint Nicholas Day or doing any of this stuff before.

Wow. My family has always done it. I think it's a German tradition, perhaps? I'm not sure. I just know that I've done it ever since I can remember :)

I think it's a popular tradition with the Dutch or something.  I didn't know any Americans did it.

I don't think that's it because I'm over 80% German, and both sides of my family are German. Maybe my family is just weird?

Don't take this wrong but, ya, your fam does seem a little weird.  That's part of being on Phatmass though ^__^.

Lasst uns froh und munter sein,

und uns recht von Herzen freun!

Lustig, lustig, traleralera!

Bald ist Nikolaus Abend da,

bald ist Nikolaus Abend da!

 

Dann stell ich den Teller auf,

Nik'laus legt gewiß was drauf.

Lustig, lustig, traleralera!

Bald ist Nikolaus Abend da,

bald ist Nikolaus Abend da!

 

Wenn ich schlaf, dann träume ich,

jetzt bringt Nik'laus was für mich.

Lustig, lustig, traleralera!

Bald ist Nikolaus Abend da,

bald ist Nikolaus Abend da!

 

Wenn ich aufgestanden bin,

lauf ich schnell zu dem Teller hin.

Lustig, lustig, traleralera!

Bald ist Nikolaus Abend da,

bald ist Nikolaus Abend da!

 

Nik'laus ist ein guter Mann,

dem man nicht genug danken kann!

Lustig, lustig, traleralera!

Bald ist Nikolaus Abend da,

bald ist Nikolaus Abend da!

Also Rusyn tradition. We love St. Nicholas and actually make a huge deal out of it. And yes, I will attempt to get the St. Nicholas costume next year.
