Stop staring at me, Gnome!

@trinsec Where is "here"? This sounds very interesting as I have not heard of this before.

@obi The Netherlands. Our neighbouring countries celebrate it too, and our overseas (former) colonies know of this tradition as well.

@trinsec On the wiki right now. I don't know how I have never thought of this. Do you "put your shoes out"? This is such an interesting tradition.

@obi Yeah. The Xmas one (which we don't celebrate as much with presents in mind) that Americans know is having your sock at the fireplace. We have our shoes. ;) A Pete would come down and put some fun stuff in there. You could leave a carrot in there for the saint's horse. ;)

@trinsec Ahhhhh. This makes sense.
Every year before my kids come down, I go into the kitchen and chop/shred/destroy carrots and celery, leaving the kitchen floor a mess. Those reindeer are always so hungry. I continued it, because my whole life growing up that's what I came down to on Christmas morning.

@obi I know the feel. We're celebrating Saint Nicolas soon here (5 december), and all the doors of our school building have a Pete sticker on the windows as if Pete is going to peek over the edge... and that keeps distracting me. :P
