On Friday night St. Nicholas came. He gave me two chocolate coins, about ten candy canes, and..... A lap desk! St. Nicholas isn't just Santa he's a saint! The story I have always heard was that St. Nick was a rich man who gave toys to the poor. He had a companion named Black Pete. Black Pete was a coal miner who would give coal to bad children. But there are many different stories. But one things for sure put your shoe out on December fifth night. Then the morning of the sixth something will be in your shoe.
