December 5th is the eve of St. Nicholas Day, a significant celebration in many European cultures where children leave out shoes or stockings for gifts, sweets, and treats from the generous 4th-century bishop who inspired Santa Claus, with traditions varying from Dutch Sinterklaas arriving by boat to German and Czech figures leaving gifts for good children (and coal for naughty ones).
