Hi t7 members,

I guess most of you, at least those who have children and who are already living in Germany, know about the 'Nikolaus' day. For all the others I want to explain this very special day. Although this is a religious story about a Saint of the 4th century..

..nobody takes care about this, but our kids (and my spouse) are cleaning their shoes and put them in front of the door in the evening of the 5th and awaiting Nikolaus (or his substitutes) to put some sweeties and gifts inside the shoes. Early in the morning of the 6th they kids (and many spouses) are running to the door, looking after their shoes. If you forgot (or Nikolaus) to put something in, you will get into trouble 

Have a happy time!
