On the night of December 5th you must leave your boots all shiny and clean by the door, then while you are asleep Saint Nicholas comes and fills your boots with goodies... and if you are bad you get a Rute (a bunch of sticks bundled together. that you are suppose to then get hit on the bum with). Well he came last night and the kids got a bunch of candy and chocolate and a couple toys (Robin also had a Rute)... and it turns out i got something too!! I got new boots! and then those boots were filled with chocolate and a new bra and a scarf... oh and also a Rute... so i guess i wasn't the best behaved all year either!
cant wait to see what other German traditions will unfold as the month progresses!
