In the German-speaking countries and Holland and Belgium December 6th is the most distinctive children's festival of the year. St. Nikolaus Eve is a time of festive stir, it is a time of whispers and giggles, and of heavy steps on the stairs. Shops are full of many-shaped biscuits, gilt gingerbreads, sometimes representing the saint, of sugar images, toys and other little gifts. Sankt Nikolaus the fourth century Greek bishop of Myra in Asia Minor died on December 6th, 343 in Southern Italy and among the Greeks, he is revered most of all as the patron saint of children. In many regions, the festivities originally attributed to the gift giving St. Nikolaus have been transferred to Christmas, yet in Western and Southern Germany, in Austria, Switzerland, and the Low Countries, December 6 remains a day of joy for children. When evening comes, St. Nikolaus, a reverend gray haired figure with a flowing beard, bishop's raiment, gold embroidered cope, mitre and pastoral staff, knocks on doors and enquires about the behavior of the children. The custom of examining the children, where they will deliver a verse, sing, or otherwise show their skills, is still widespread in German speaking countries. Nikolaus traditions vary as widely from region to region as his guise and name. He appears as Ruhklas, Pelznickel, Klasbur, etc. He is rides a white horse, a mule, or even a goat. More diverse than those of the saintly Nikolaus are the many legends and traditions that are told. The pagan origin of all of these figures is evident although difficult to trace. His best known companion is Black Pete his servant. Black Pete was a dark and sinister figure dressed in a tattered robe with a big sack on his back in which, legend has it, he will place all naughty children. St. Nikolaus also appears together with St. Peter, with an angel, the Christchild (Christkindl or Christ Child). As the splendor of the candle-lit Christmas tree and emphasis on the birth of Christ, began to shift the function of the gift-giving St. Nikolaus, Knecht Ruprecht became the servant and companion of the Christchild. In this role Ruprecht became the patron saint of Christmas and was called "Weihnachtsmann," ("Christmas Man") Father Christmas or Santa Claus.

As with the Christmas tree, St. Nikolaus was brought to this country by German and Dutch immigrants. Oldtimers in Indiana still remember Belshnickel, the Pelznickel (literally "Fur Niklaus; Pelz=pelt=fur). Clement Clarke Moore helped define the Americian Santa Claus in his Christmas Poem - "Twas the Night before Christmas".
