December 6, the Feast of St. Nicholas of Myra, is primarily celebrated in some European countries. Children place their shoes outside on the doorstep at night in hopes that they will be filled by St. Nick with candy, fruit and small gifts. The New World morphed St. Nicholas into Santa Claus and moved him to Christmas. This has since spread to much of the world, unfortunately.
