Today is St. Nikolaus Day in Hungary. On December 5th, the eve of the 6th, all the kids leave their boots out in the windowsills. St. Nikolaus comes around and leaves candy in the boots if they have been good, and rod if they have been bad. I think most kids get lots of candy and a small gift of some sort. St. Nikolaus was a real man who lived in the third century, in what is today Turkey, and was know for his "secret" gift-giving to the poor and children. Over time his legend turned into what we know today in America as Santa Claus. It is fun the way they celebrate it here, more true to the story I think. There is your fun Hungarian fact for the day!
