Isn’t it the same for Christ Child? Or do other Germans in the south get their presents on First day of Christmas? At least I didn’t.

Unfortunately, defecating is exactly what it does. It’s not a euphemism. It is literally a pooping log!

Time to sing “Caga tió” and beat a log until it gives us sweet treats…

The note on the Low Countries says there’s no traditional Christmas gift-giver, but doesn’t Sinterklaas traditionally bring gifts on Sint Nicolasdaag?

Chistmas starts at Holy Eve and ends on Epiphany, January 6th, so New Year’s Eve fits into that time frame.

Saint Nicolaus’ December 6th according to the Julian calendar is probably on December 19th according to Gregorian calendar, thus, this is a different holiday.
