This year the Santa Claus day is a little bit different.
But we should celebrate it.
Are you celebrating it?

Nice photo
Is this where the kids in Germany get sweets in their shoe?
Lol I hope kids have washed their shoes
Not if my boy is anything to go by @ikari04warrior
I think the idea is they should clean their shoes and a sweet gift is left for them.
I think I’ve heard this from a friend of mine in Germany, either that or it was some bizarre dream
I am 98% sure you are right I did it once when I was little you’re supposed to clean the shoes and leave them outside to get candy and nuts in your shoes. This is where you hope you have big feet:rofl:
Glad my parents didn’t leave candy in my smelly shoes
That’s interesting. Never heard that before lol
I’m sure no matter how much I clean my shoes they would still not be as clean as new and still be smelly
Oh my, I thought you were joking hahaha
Great Franz.
I recall my friend in Salzgitter mentioning it in the past, lovely tradition.
Me, joke? NEVER!
Its not easy!
For example :
Christmas 24.12.
In the southern part of Germany and in Austria the “Christkind” is donating gifts.
In the northern part its the “Weihnachtsmann”.
Both show up at 24./25. 12.
This Nikolaus (6.12.) is another fellow, but he looks the same as the “Weihnachtsmann”.
But he is the elder, more traditional one!
His day is today 6. 12 !
Mostly in the southern part of Germany, Austria, Switzerland )
In other countries he is not known (USA, UK etc)
Interesting is the same name " Santa Claus".
But this USA/UK-Santa Claus is here the "Weihnachtsmann (24.12)
And Santa Claus belongs to Coca Cola!
