Has any anyone out there heard of St. Nicholas Day? I believe it is suspose to be Dec. 8. And how you celebrate it?
I had never heard of it until recently.
Thanks
We used to celebrate it when I was at home. All we really did was get some small thing in our stocking. And I mean small. Like nail polish, or a candy bar, or something along those lines.
I don't so it now - I'm afraid I'd confuse my kids, but maybe when they're done with Santa, we'll start it up...
We celebrate St. Nicholas Day on the 6th of December and as pooker wrote, you will find small gifts in your, very good polished 
, shoes. In my family there will be a book inside and the rest is filled with chocolate, the special christmas ones, all kind of nuts and tangerines or oranges. There are several christmas songs especially for St. Nicholas.
Maybe intereting to know, that St. Nicholas was the bishop from Myra/Turkey around 280-350 and was supposed to place money in the sockings, hanging by the fire, at the poor family homes, at night.
I do. The kids love it. I'm an army brat and we lived in Germany for a couple years, we picked it up over there. I don't put much in the boots but it helps get the kids excited for Christmas.
I think it might be catching on with my husband's cousin, I was talking about the day and she was thinking about doing something like that for her little boy.
I also used the day to make a cake for my oldest's first grade class. 
St.Nicholas day or Sinterklaas is celebrated on the 5th of december in Suriname and in Holland. In Suriname we also call it Kinderdag or Childrens day that's when we used to get presents not on 25 of december.
We celebrated christmas on 25 and 26 and december and it was all about family, friends and good food.

When my daughter attended a catholic school, they celebrated it there. The kids made stocking out of paper and set them in the hallway out side their classrooms. During the day someone filled them with chocolate coins. They spent the day talking about St. Nick and all he did. I was so afraid that it would bring up questions at home about "Santa" but it never did.
