- St. Nicholas Day - better known by his Dutch name of
"Santa Clause," he was a Christian bishop of Myra, a city in Turkey; he is remembered for his acts of charity. In the most famous
story about old Saint Nick, he saves three sisters from lives of prostitution by secretly leaving gifts so that they would have a dowry to marry.
According to one version of the story, the gifts landed in stockings that the sisters had hung on the chimney to dry! In many countries,
St. Nicholas' feast day is the day he arrives with presents for children. Celebrated in many European countries including Hungary, people
exchange gifts during this time.
