Happy Feast of St. Nicholas! I remember in grade school, two of the moms would dress up, one as St. Nick, the other as his servant Peter, to distribute candy canes in the classroom. And more recently, I enjoyed the depiction of St. Nicholas in the movie "Millions," where he helps little Damian stuff currency into the mail slot of the local Mormon community, to help them because they seemed poor. Nicholas wasn't so much concerned with the receivers as with the act of giving. And he only spoke Latin, though you'd wonder if Nicholas of Myra spoke anything besides Greek. I mean, I'd wonder that, but I don't know the linguistic state of the Roman Empire by his time.
Does anyone else have St. Nicholas day memories?
And Happy Name Day to little Nicholas Stiegler, my cousin's firstborn!

Yes, I too have St. Nicholas Day memories. I've posted a bit about them on my blog.
It's nice remembering.
