Dear Friend

Today is a very special day - St. Nicholas Day! According to the old calendar of holidays. Many people around the world celebrate this day according to old traditions, and I want to share this wonderful custom with you.

St. Nicholas is the day when we remember the benefactor and intercessor of children, a wise and kind saint, whose image is firmly embedded in the culture of different nations. The traditions of this holiday differ in different countries, but there are several common rules and customs.

One of the most famous traditions of this day is the exchange of gifts. In some countries, people leave small gifts and sweets in a closet or sock by the door or fireplace overnight. It is believed that St. Nicholas secretly leaves them for good children and those who behave prudently and good-naturedly during the year.

Also on this day it is customary to organize festivals, feasts and various charity events. People give each other warm words, help those in need and try to be especially kind and attentive.

In addition, there is a tradition to bake festive treats - pies, cookies or special sweets that are prepared in honor of this day. This is a great excuse to get together with loved ones and enjoy these tasty treats with family and friends.

The traditions of St. Nicholas Day are beautiful in their kindness and warmth. They remind us of the importance of kindness, generosity and caring for one another. No matter how we celebrate this day, the main thing is to create an atmosphere of joy, comfort and love around us.

I wish you a beautiful and kind St. Nicholas Day! Let this day be filled with joy, warmth and pleasant surprises.

With best wishes,
