St. Nicholas Day. It is celebrated on December 5th. Children place their shoes by the door, and when they wake up the next morning, their shoes are filled with candies and other small trinkets.
It was not the Italians that created the putting out of shoes on a porch for Santa Clause to put candy in. It was the Germans that created this tradition.
In France, children leave shoes by the fireplace on Christmas Eve so that Pere Noel (the French version of Santa Claus) can fill them with presents while they are asleep.
they're putting their shoes right there.

They are commutative if you find that putting your shoes on first and then your socks gives the same result as putting your socks on first and then the shoes. If it is not the same, then the activities are not commutative.
The Christmas Shoes - song - was created in 2000.
In Bolivia, it is the tradition of "Tio de Nadal" that takes the children's old shoes from their windows in exchange for new gifts on Christmas Eve. This figure is known as the Christmas log or Yule log in English.
Little kids get presents in their shoes, and only items they need, like clothes, not many toys. It is a lot different than in the U.S
it is a tradition.
A good Christmas shoes song is 'The Christmas Shoes.' This song is by the Christian vocal group Newsong and was released in 2000 on their album, Sheltering Tree.
Our kids don't actually walk around without shoes all day. We have a tradition called 'sinterklaas', kind of familiar to Christmas. We celebrate the birthday of Saint Nicholas. The children put one of their shoes under the chimney or next to a door and sing a 'sinterklaas song' just before they go to bed. The 'servants' of Saint Nicholas will then put a present in the shoe while everybody's asleep. The servant in this case are the parents that also bought the presents.
