    You wonderful German bastards.

    My question is to you Germans or whoever else celebrates this day is, "What did you get in your shoe?" Did you get candy and fruits? Or did you get switches from the jew?

    That was actually yesterday, and I'm pretty sure that the Germans don't really celebrate it. It's pretty big here but I didn't really celebrate it this year.

    Isn't Saint Nicholas Santa Claus?

    Santa Claus derives from Saint Nicholas but they aren't the same. Santa Claus is basically Saint Nicholas but dipped in a vat of liquid capitalism and melted jew gold.

    This sounds like a delicious holiday. One of my German friends celebrates this, strange he has blond hair and blue eyes.

    I want to make this a tradition when I have a family of my own because its awesome. Plus, if my children are doing bad in school, I can put switches in their shoes.

    That's not funny, it's called genetics, and my uncle, whom survived WW2 in Austria, had blue eyes and blonde hair. Before his hair went gray, of course.

    And yes, this holiday is awesome.
