When living in Germany as a child we celebrated St. Nick on Dec 6. My sister and I put out shoes (Dad’s because they were bigger!) by the front door. In the morning they were either full of coal if we were bad, and toys and candy if we were good. It’s a fun childhood memory!
I love the detail of leaving carrots for the horses! Somehow that's so much better than leaving cookies for Santa.
