Happy St. Mikolaj! Today, December 6th, St. Nicholas is celebrated... children awake to a small present, typically candy or food of some sort, and I'm told usually under their pillow. Yes, St. Nicholas (aka Santa) visited the girls!! Then, the kids eagerly await Christmas Eve and see if St. Nick brought the presents they requested in their letters to him. Traditionally, in Poland, they celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve with a dinner once they've seen the "star" in the sky. Then, after dinner, they get to open presents. So far, this is what I've learned, so I shall see what else I learn or what I've gotten wrong!!
