Born in 280 A.D. in Asia Minor, he lost his parents at an early age, though they left him great wealth when they died. The real St. Nicholas was known for giving gifts to help those in need and was eventually made a bishop of Myra. The good bishop died on December 6th; thus this day is now Saint Nicholas Day.
Many children put a boot called Nikolaus-Stiefel (Nikolaus boot) outside the front door on the night of 5 December. St. Nicholas fills the boot with gifts and sweets overnight.
