St. Nicholas Day

Warsaw, Poland

Saint Nicholas' Day, a tradition observed on December 6th, is celebrated as a Christian festival with particular regard to his reputation as a bringer of gifts.
The special day for all kids :) In Poland it is called "Mikolajki" and children find the candy or small gifts under the pillow, the morning of 6 December.

Festive image, it made me smile. I especially like the curled corners on the houses! Happy St. Nicholas Day to you and your family.

So beautiful and such a wonderful tradition that people in America seemed to have forgotten.

Happy, fun image Jola. It's a nice idea and seems to be lacking in the commerciality that normally surrounds Christmas.
