Today is December 6th...St. Nicholas' Day

In my country's tradition, since I could remember I would wake up every Dec. 6th morning with a gift under my pillow! I would wait for this day like all year...this was in addition to all the gifts on Christmas...Oh memories...Im sure Anita feels the same way!
