Yes saint Nicolas (Sinterklaas). The bishop of Mira Turkey when Christianity was still a thing there

How is Saint Nicks celebrated in Wisconsin? Is it a church event or something more like Thanksgiving celebrating his presumed birthday? Here he arrives with a boat from Spain filled with presents. His helpers throw around candy for the kids

You know, I can’t remember at all. My family are atheists and immigrants from Iran so we never did that stuff but I learned from my friends. My Serbian friends who were also part Croatian were really into St. Nicks. I don’t remember what they did but the kids were super into it

Yes it's more aimed at kids who still believe Sinterklaas is real 😂 Older people tend to do a thing called Surprise. You pack little presents in ludicrous work pieces with poems like Saint Nick made it and gave. You victim is chosen by a lottery system weeks before with names on paper in a jar

It usually comes with having dinner together as well like a variety of Thanksgiving

Santa Claus actually looks a lot like Sint Nicolas. The name as well. Santa with elves looks a lot like it like a Walt Disney stealing the Grimm brothers tales It all developed differently all over the place Like what has Santa and elves to do with the birth of Jesus? 😂
