St
Nicholas Day;
On St. Nicholas Eve all children place a bucket
of water and a shoe filled with hay for St.
Nicholas’ big white horse. If they have
been good all year, they will wake to find
their shoes filled with gifts. Those who haven’t
are afraid a goblin called “ Zwarte
Piet” (Black Peter) will carry them
back to Spain in a sack.
