When he sounds a bell (that is placed behind the door of the hall), the children leave running because they know that underneath the tree are their gifts, but… they will not be able to open them until they at night do not sing the traditional carol of Peace “Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht”.


In Belgium they must by custom leave to slide the day of Christmas after the typical food to familar. The family to the complete one puts the skids and they slide by the frozen rivers. San Nicholas, visits the 4 of December the children of the city to verify that they have been good and two days later returns to leave to gifts and caramels to which they have behaved well and a small branch in the shoe to the bad kids.
