CW: Advent Beer Calendar 2025: Day 6
After #KrampusNight comes #StNicholasDay, celebrating the arrival of St. Nicholas on December 6 who brings gifts to children. St. Nick is, of course, the precursor to the modern-day Santa Claus, so for the #BeerAdventCalendar pick of the day we commemorate the holiday with a Santa-themed #beer—Bad Santa Cascadian Dark Ale from Oregon’s #PelicanBrewing.

Happy #StNicholasDay! Born in Patara (in what is now Turkey), the saint known for his secret gift-giving became over time the inspiration for today's figure of Santa Claus.

Watch out, Krampus is on his way!
I hope you've been good enough that he won't catch you.
Have a wonderful St. Nicholas Day anyway!

Achtung, Krampus ist unterwegs!
Ich hoffe, ihr wardn brav genug, damit er euch nicht erwischt.
Dennoch einen schönen Nikolaustag!#KätToon #Krampus #StNicholas #StNicholasDay #Nikolaus #NikolausTag

CW: Advent Beer Calendar 2025: Day 5
Tonight is #KrampusNight, taking place on the even of #StNicholasDay, in which beastly #Krampus accompanies St. Nick to punish misbehaving children as Nicholas rewards the well-behaved. It’s only fitting to select an #AdventCalendar beer to commemorate #Krampusnacht, so today we visit New Jersey’s #SevenTribesmenBrewery to enjoy the brewery’s Krampusz, a spiced winter ale.

#FiXatoCommentsOn B. Dylan Hollis' #Pfeffernüsse recipe:
In the Netherlands these 'kruidnoten' (literally: spice nuts), as they are called in Dutch, are still a traditional treat around St. Nicholas Day, 5th/6th of December. (Though I've yet to see them with an icing coating; white, milk, dark chocolate coatings however, are common; and tasty!). They usually already arrive in shops around September/October though.
Though they are colloquially also known as 'pepernoten' (literally: pepper nuts), those are technically a different treat; where kruidnoten are small and crispy, pepernoten are bigger and more chewy. As wikipedia describes it: "They are light brown, square shaped, and made from the same ingredients as taai-taai : rye flour, sugar and anise, and sometimes also cinnamon, and clove. They are fairly chewy, though they harden gradually when exposed to the air."You should find a recipe for taai-taai (pronounced similar to 'Thai Thai', I guess); you might find that interesting to make and taste too.

CW: Advent Beer Calendar 2024: Day 6
It’s #StNicholasDay today, following up on #Krampusnacht, in which children in European countries wake up to see if St. Nicholas left them a present under their pillows or in their shoes; the American Santa Claus is derived from St. Nick. To commemorate the holiday, today’s #AdventCalendar #beer is Saint Nicholas Winter Ale from #FourSaintsBrewing of North Carolina.

Happy #StNicholasDay! Did you know it’s also #NationalPawnbrokersDay? There’s a connection, as it turns out – which is explained in our video about the history of Christmas stockings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dryPmMO1cSA

@U24govUA Remember Maryna Ponomaryova from Kherson Oblast?
Yesterday, @ZelenskyyUa met with 6-year-old at the Okhmatdyt hospital. To see the president personally was a girl's dream that came true on #StNicholasDay.

Cold here 41 (wind chill 39°) but I bundled up and it didn’t seem bad when I walked a short round trip mile to the bank. Good exercise. Brought the tellers oranges for #StNicholasDay. They had never heard about it—3 were from the Caribbean and one from Morocco—but now they’re going to bring some fruit, nuts and candy home for their kids.

Annual reminder that after several centuries of warring over who has the real relics of St. Nicholas, DNA analysis has proved that both Venice and Bari own half and half of Santa.
Sharing the corpses of long dead saints is caring, children.🎅🎅

I used the coupon my boss got me for St. Nicholas Day to buy three whole packages of Capri Sun Cherry and I have no regrets because I’ve loved Capri Sun Cherry since childhood - it gives me ALL the nostalgia feels. #CapriSun #Cherry #Drink #Food #StNicholasDay

I love the European St Nicholas traditions, especially when paired alongside the Krampus!

Happy #StNicholasDay ! What better way to celebrate than by punching a heretic in a #pico8 fighting game?
(If you'd rather play as the heretic, good news: It's a 2-player game!)

It's the Day of Ares / Mars' Day / Tuesday!
What kind of gifts would #Ares bring for St Nicholas day?
Bishop Nikolaos, who gave rise to the modern form of #SantaClaus, came from Lykia (in modern Turkey), and was ordained as a priest in Myra where #Artemis Eleutheria was the protective goddess of the town.
