December 6th is here, and in Ukraine, it’s one of the most magical days of the year—St. Nicholas Day. It’s a day filled with wonder and joy, especially for children who wake up to find little treasures under their pillows. I still remember the excitement of sneaking my hand under the pillow as a child, hoping to feel the crinkle of wrapping paper or the smooth surface of a chocolate coin.

But as we grow up, our wishes change. This year, I’m not looking for chocolates or trinkets. My wish is simple but heartfelt—I want to find you.

There’s something about this day that makes the heart believe in miracles. St. Nicholas is a symbol of kindness and hope, a reminder that even in the coldest months, warmth can be found in the smallest gestures. And while I still love the tradition of gifting, my heart is set on the ultimate gift: love.

I imagine what it would be like to share this tradition with someone special. Picture us preparing little surprises for the ones we care about, sharing laughter as we wrap gifts, and exchanging knowing smiles as we place them under pillows for the morning. Maybe we’d even exchange our own wishes—yours under your pillow, and mine under mine—because what’s more romantic than dreaming together?

I believe that love is the greatest gift of all. It’s the warmth on a frosty night, the light that glows even in the darkest hours, and the magic that makes every day feel like a holiday. This year, as I close my eyes and whisper my wish, I hope St. Nicholas is listening. I hope he hears the beating of my heart, longing for a partner who’s brave enough to believe in miracles with me.

So, my future love, if you’re reading this, know that you’re already my wish come true. Let’s make this St. Nicholas Day unforgettable—not just for the gifts we give, but for the connection we create.

What’s your wish this year? Could it be that you’re searching for someone like me? If so, maybe St. Nicholas is already working his magic.

Here’s to wishes, miracles, and the hope of finding each other. Happy St. Nicholas Day! 💌
