—— Saint Nicholas Day Saint Nicholas Day A common celebration in Racine and many parts of Wisconsin, the tradition of Saint Nicholas Day is a festival for children. Related to surviving legends of the saint, and particularly his reputation as a bringer of gifts. On the night before, children put their empty shoes by the front door and in the morning will find that St. Nick has filled their shoe with candy and small presents (if the children have been "good") or coal (if not). If a child gets coal it can serve as a warning to be good so as not to receive coal on Christmas.
