6th December is St Nicholas' Day. (Santa Claus is based on St Nicholas). On the 6th of DDecember in Germany, St Nicholas or Nikolaus would hand out sweets and fruit to all the good children but if you were bad his helper would give you a whip so your parents could punish you.

St Nicholas was based on the Bishop who gave money to the poor.
