You wrote a great story and I truly hope mom can afford buying big presents if the children eat themselves through a mountain of carrots!
St Nicholas his birthday is December 6th and he gave presents and money to the poor (adults included).
At the chimney or backdoor one shoe is placed with carrots and water for the horse? A letter/drawing is added for the Saint.
It's acebration you find in Europe and you will see him with one or more helpers but no elves.
Saint Nicholas doesn't stand for Christmas he's later used by some nations as such and coca-cola made it the fat guy we know today.
Gracias por tan valioso comentario
