December 6th in Poland is a day, when Santa Claus brings presents to the kids. (FYI: Santa Claus in Poland is called St. Nicholas).
A long long time ago and far far away, there was a boy by the name of Nicholas. He had all the toys he wanted, plenty of clothes and food and loving parents. He wasn’t missing anything. But Nicholas was a very smart boy. He liked observing everything that was surrounding him including the people. He took a notice of many kids hardly having anything. It made him sad. He didn’t understand why he had so much and others so little. So he decided to take the matters into his own hands.
Every Sunday, he would take as much food as he could carry to the church and after the mass, he would give it away to the kids. Once a year, he would give away all the toys that he received during the last year.
When Nicholas grew up, he inherited a big fortune and decided to share it with others. His good deeds continued and one day he was named Saint Nicholas. His house became a workshop, where throughout the year he makes the toys for kids and on December 6th gives them away.
