The German Nikolaus vs. the American Santa Claus
Nobody really knows the traditional German Nikolaus in the United States. Over here, we have Santa Claus. Even though the two gentlemen look very much alike, their schedules are very different.
For St. Nikolaus Day in Germany, many children put a boot or shoe outside the front door on the night of December 5. If you were a good kid, Nikolaus will fill your boot with gifts and sweets overnight. At the same time he checks up on the children to see if they were good, polite and helpful during the last year. If they were not, they will find a tree branch in their boots instead. In some instances Nikolaus might even visit the children at school or in their homes and personally inquire if they have been naughty or nice. Usually the kids recite poems or play a song for Nikolaus and get awarded with a small present.
