2022Christmas and New Year - First Day Cover

December is a month rich in beautiful customs and festive gifts. The first presents are given on the feast day of Saint Nicholas on December 6th. A story about Saint Nicholas goes that his neighbor had three beautiful daughters who could not marry because they were poor. They prayed for the salvation of their honor because their father wanted to sell them. After learning about this, Saint Nicholas decided to help them. He filled sacks with gold coins and lowered them down the chimney. These fell into the socks, which were drying over the hearth.
