What does St Nickolas put in the childrens shoes in Germany?
Interesting, my grandfather and I were just talking about this yesterday. Originally St Nickolas would put scorpions in the shoes of children. This was on account of the Great Floods of the 17th and 18th century, and was a warning to children to keep there shoes up high to preserve their leather shoes. Leather was like gold in those days, and gold was like soup, fairly common but not really suitable for making shoes. Anyway, the idea was to scare kids into putting the shoes up high. Now, in the 1970,s with the advent of velcro, shoe became cheaper to make and the threat of flooding was long in the past. Now, St. Nickolas would put pot pies, turnips, and other delicious treats in the shoes of children. MMM..yum. Malke Zigthues (Merry Christmas in German)
