In Poland, they celebrate Mikołajki, or Saint Nicholas Day in English. On the 6th of December, Saint Nicholas comes with presents for the children in Poland.

This holiday honors Saint Nicholas who was a 4th century Bishop of Myra in Lycia, which is in modern day Turkey. This saint was known for his secret gift giving, which is why he is often associated with Santa Claus.

As Mikołajki approaches, Polish children will write letters to Saint Nicholas where they tell him about their good behavior and the gifts they wish to receive. Traditionally, Saint Nicholas arrived bringing fruit such as apples and oranges. He would ask the children to recite their catechism and reward them with chocolate, heart-shaped gingerbread cookies. In bakeries around Poland, you will find pierniczki or gingerbread cookies that are cut out in a Saint Nicholas shape and decorated with white frosting. Naughty children however, usually receive a little twig.

Gifts are usually hidden under pillows or inside of shoes. The night before, children often clean their shoes so they are ready to relieve gifts. This is similar to the Western traidition of leaving milk and cookies out for Santa Claus. Saint Nicholas then arrives dressed as a bishop in bright clothing carrying a shepherds staff. It is said he arrives from heaven with an angel helper and travels by foot, horse, or in a sleigh pulled by a while horse as he visits each home. The next day in school on December 6th, there is often a small gift exchange that takes place between students!
