St. Nicholas Day is celebrated on December 6, and children leave shoes or stockings outside of their door. On Tuesday, St. Nicolas stopped by at St. Rita School and left a special surprise for its TK-8th grade students. Everyone was so excited to find their surprise. Saint Nicholas Day, also called the Feast of Saint Nicholas, is observed on 5 December or on 6 December in Western Christian countries. Children leaving their shoes by the fireplace or outside their bedroom (so that “St. Nicholas” can fill them with treats while they sleep), is one of the oldest and most popular St. Nicholas Day traditions.
