🎁🍫 Even Saint Nicholas doesn't rely solely on his Big Book—he also checks his sources.

So he wanted to “quickly” check whether his entry was still up to date...
Result:
– 12 tabs open
– a discussion page longer than his staff
– and an internal link that took him to Horse → Ozosnel → Transport routes in Spain.

Happy Saint Nicholas! 🎁

Saint Nicholas, the 4th-century Bishop of Myra, is remembered for his kindness and faith 🌿. He gave secret gifts to those in need and cared deeply for children 🙏.

His generosity inspired Christmas traditions and reminds us that giving with love brings Christ’s joy into the world ✨.

@phantomofopera well, since "#SantaClaus" is modelled after the real #SaintNicholas of Myra which is an early #Christian bishop of #Greek descent from the maritime city of Patara in #Anatolia you're historically accurate AFAICS 😜

Saint Nicholas hasn’t even begun his run in the Netherlands and I’m already seeing people on Facebook posting completely made up stories trying to convince each other that Black Pete is not a racist stereotype at all.

Ye gods, the stupidity. And all just so they can keep their “traditions”. 🤬

Such wishes are written to #SaintNicholas by our little ones this year. Along with sweets and gifts, they ask for peace, «for their fathers to return home,» and draw the longed-for trains «Donetsk - Crimea.»

United 24 found these letters on the page of Instagram of Oleni Mukolaya — volunteers who bring a bit of holiday to children living in frontline, liberated territories, and to displaced children.

Surprising all the kids in your son’s kindergarten on Saint Nicholas Day is indeed a very special moment in a dad’s life. I was relieved that Noah had no clue and didn’t recognize me, even though he was standing inches in front of me.

@clacke I originally thought #December6'th was the birthday of #SaintNicholas of #Myra, but according to Wikipedia it's actually his death date «(traditionally 15 March 270 – 6 December 343)»

From what I understand, originally you'd place your shoe and sing songs on the night of #December5'th, and find the gifts the next morning on #December6th.

As a result of increased prosperity & commercialisation, it became more common to have small gifts in the shoes in the weeks up to the 5th
