our family is one of the few in the united states to celebrate the european tradition of st. nicholas eve. every december 5th we put one of our shoes outside the door so that st. nick will fill them up with candy and gifts that night. unless we have been naughty, in which case it is quite possible to be thrown into a sack by krampus and whisked away to the deep dark woods, followed by a beating or perhaps an even worse fate. this i suppose seems like a pretty intense gamble, but who doesn't love free candy?
