Mikulás

Do you remember your first Mikulás?

Mikulás = Saint Nicholas, who comes on 6th of December, and brings presents to kids. You can read the legend of Saint Nicholas here.

I have very vague memories about my childhood, but I have an image in my mind about one Mikulás evening.

I was so anxious to see the good old man and prepeared to meet him. I cleaned my boots and put near the entrance door. I was in my room at the window to see Mikulás coming. Suddenly the bell rang at the door and I rushed out from my room to the hall... and I saw through the window of the entrance door a shadow going away, and I heard his steps as he was going down the stairs .
I did not meet him, but I saw his silhouette...
I was a bit disappointed that he was faster than me and could not see him.

I was about 4 years old...

On the picture you can see Joulupukki, the Finnish Mikulás.
