As long as I can remember my family celebrated St. Nicholas Day. I went to a Byzantine Catholic elementary school and have a German, Slovak, and Italian background. It is because of St. Nicholas that I will always believe in Santa Claus and the joy of gift giving and thinking of and sharing with others. My mother would have me put out my old shoes at night. In the morning they were replaced by a new pair of winter boots...perfect timing in Pennsylvania. They always had the chocolate gold coins, a chocolate Santa Claus, an orange, a candy cane and a new ornament for the Christmas tree in them. My husband happened to be Byzantine Greek too however never celebrated St. Nicholas Day until he met me. We have shared this tradition with our three sons for the past 30 years. He actually added a Matchbox car to the new shoes or boots for the boys along with the traditional goodies...his personal touch. As our sons grew and moved away they each received their box of Christmas ornaments to take with them. They are continuing this tradition with their new families now. Happy St. Nicholas Day!
This is wonderful !! My husband is from Romania and I’m from Jamaica , we celebrate St. Nicholas day with our sons ! Thank you for this video.
How lovely! All the best!
@ANDU COSTIN we love St.Nicholas day !!! We’re celebrating today as well in our family . Hope your having a great day . And all the best 😊🤗 xx
As someone who has grown up with Santa, I find this sweet and fascinating.
Thank you for your channel!

I can’t believe I’m 18 and just now learning about the real story. Thank you for this! ❤️
You're welcome
Don't feel alone in that... I think I'm a bit more shocked than you because I'm 33 and just now learning it for the first time... 😊
I have always celebrated St Nicolas day. My kids are 16, 18 and 20 and still look forward to seeing what they get in their shoes.
Thanks for sharing this !
How sweet to see your kids so little! We do something very similar, I love that our church does vespers the night before and Diving Liturgy on the day of his feast.
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Our st Nicholas day Tradition' is very beautiful very sweet tradition!!
We're starting this tradition this year. We've just been watching videos on it. I'll have to get the books next year. Thanks!
There are lots of different books out there and the St Nicholas Center website is the place to go! All the best!
I love your video bc this is how our family does it too! We thought we were the only ones!
Awesome
Thanks!
I love this tradition! I’ve always told my kids about St Nicholas. I def need to get books too! They would like that.
There are lots of stories on St Nicholas Center website, too. So you could read them straight from there as well.
Am I watching this on the eve of St Nicholas day a year after you posted it? Maybe! Haha, I love the oranges and gold coin candies, my husband grew up with oranges being put in his stocking. This is the first year we are really celebrating so I'm excited about it!
Yes! I posted it last year 💕
And here it is st.Nicholas day!
Thanks for sharing...
You're welcome!
Father Christmas.😁
We've been hit or miss with St. Nicholas' Day over the years, but now after seeing the pictures of your family enjoying the morning together, I'm making it happen this year!! - I guess tomorrow night.
Tonight ! :) Yes! We have loved it and look forward to it every year.
I loved this, Michelle! Happy St. Nicholas Day, friend! :)
Thanks!
Yes! Thank you for posting this! I grew up with this tradition as well, and feel quite saddened as I get older that it has been replaced by Santa Claus or Father Christmas which are not only very Northern Hemisphere centric but have also eliminated St Nicholas, his deeds, and messages all together in the process. I have been trying to reclaim this tradition with my nieces and nephews. Thanks again for this video, Happy St Nicholas Day and Merry Christmas 2018!
Thank you 💕
i've never heard of these stories, very interesting Michelle! tfs
Thanks, Lindsay!
That’s great! We do the shoe thing too. I’m actually considering nixing the “stockings” since he already fills the shoes. We’ll see if Ryan’s on board. The kids know “Santa Clause” is St Nick. I’d actually love to nix Santa on Dec 24 altogether but until they’re older, he’s staying. We just say he comes twice: once in memory of his feast day and once to honor Jesus. 🤷♀️
We don't do Santa at all #shocking We keep the stockings because the grandparents fill them every year 💗
Which book has the pictures of all the different drawings of St. Nicholas? Love seeing your traditions!
I'm British, but I do know a bit about St Nicholas Day.
They get small presents if they've been good during the year. But if they've been naughty, they get a stick, as far as I'm aware.
It is said that the stick would be for the parents to discipline the child with. One should hope that they don't use it for that purpose, though, because in modern Germany, there is a complete ban on all forms of physical punishment of children!
We are doing this this year!
Fun! I hope you all enjoy it!
My tradition for family on st. Nick day: we use our winter boots and since my mom is German we get German chocolate we also get chocolate coins and a lot more hot chocolate more chocolate. Chocolate covered cookies and actual money as well etc+
I love this. 💝💝💝 I lived in Italy many years and they have the tradition of Baby Jesus (Gesu Bambino) bringing children gifts. Unfortunately American tv is very rampant and Santa Claus is taking over. I always get teary-eyed when Italian children keep the old traditions.
I love the old traditions!
I wish I had started out always celebrating this way. Next year, I think I’ll incorporate St. Nicholas and begin the transition away from Santa. 🙂
Great idea!!
👞👟👡👢👠🍊The 𝓢𝓪𝓲𝓷𝓽 𝓝𝓲𝓬𝓱𝓸𝓵𝓪𝓼 Revolution...will put the 𝕮𝖍𝖗𝖎𝖘𝖙 back in 𝕮𝖍𝖎𝖗𝖘𝖙𝔪𝔞𝔰....and Santa, the christian Bishop, right where he rightly belongs, prayerfully prostrate and ..."before the Manger"...on December 6..
The life of Saint Nicolas is celebrated in the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, France on the date of his death on december 5th. The Belgians celebrate his life on december 6th.
Happy St. Nicholas Day! as you can see my name is Nicholas (but I use a pseudonym) and I grew up with my mother putting candy in my shoes (she left presents as well as a cookie with our name) ..... Good times ...... So yea, grew up putting my shoes by the fireplace and waking up in the morning with candy in my shoes....
- St. Nicholas... :-)
Fun! Thanks for your comment!
I tell my kids the stories from that website too 😀
St Nicholas Center is such a great resource!
That what we did in our home .
St Nicholas is Santa Clause. StNi chlas = Santa Claus. Happy Dec 6th! Fun video
I love this! We don't do Santa, either. Thank you for the links to St. Nicholas books. Ordering them now! You wouldn't happen to know any good books on St. Valentine and St. Patrick, would you? I much rather give my kids the history of those traditions/days than the pop culture. :-)
Yes, I do!! Here are some links: St Valentine: amzn.to/2BNMsz9 St Patrick: amzn.to/2Amy7gt Those are two of my favorites! I will do Book videos for both of those holidays when the time comes! :)
A Common Life thank you do much!
TODAY !
Love this?

I'm not sure.
& bad kids becomes a rod (with bit choclate on it^^)
kto poslúchal a mal nachystané 👢ten dostal🎅😄.
so what about christmas
We celebrate it 😁
We don't celebrate St. Nicolas day and we don't even do Santa Claus. We keep focused on the birth of Jesus and celebrate Him all month the best we can starting with the 1st day in December. The reason being goes back to my personal childhood. I just want my kids focused that Jesus is the reason for the season ❤
They may feel like Jesus acted for himself if you do that. He made all of life sacred and by God’s Grace the Holy Spirit empowers those like Saint Nicholas to work miracles. It’s important to kids to know that.
@@anastasiarogich7839 That's why we study the bible and all those Who God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost empowers to work miracles. 😁 We have talked about others like St. Patrick and different ones in history who God used to spread the gospel, etc. We just don't celebrate anyone else during the Christmas season except for Jesus and His Birth because THAT is far above more important. Knowing Who our Lord and Savior is 😏
@@anastasiarogich7839 My kids know Jesus came to this world and He was always about His Father's business doing for others and then to give of Himself to the world so we could have everlasting life. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 15:13 Jesus said Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
@@anastasiarogich7839 Hope this clarifies for you because it's important for kids to know their Bible.
you must be a real fun person.
That is a great and educational video. I only wish you didn't emphasize repeatedly that St. Nicholas is a real man, as opposed to Santa Claus. I would very much like to teach my very young students about traditions around the world without disenchanting them of their own families' traditions. Alas... I will have to keep looking. Otherwise, this would be perfect. Thank you for sharing.
