Happy St. Nicholas Day!

St. Nicholas Day is one of my favouritist days of the year! Why? Because if you've been good, St. Nicholas sneaks into your house and leaves you a big pile of cookies and chocolates and candy! Also, his nickname is "Shaggy Goat", which is just about the best nickname you can have.

"In Germany, St. Nicholas is also known as Klaasbuur, Sunnercla, Burklaas, Bullerklaas, and Rauklas, and in eastern Germany, he is also known as Shaggy Goat, Ash Man and Rider and is more reflective of earlier pagan influences (Norse) that were blended in with the figure of St. Nicholas, when Christianity came to Germany."

So not only does he have some cool nicknames, he's also a Viking! That's awesome!

OK, I gotta go have breakfast. Stay warm, kids.
