Saint Nicholas Day
-- Traditional celebrations of Saint Nicholas Day in Northern Europe included gifts left in children's shoes (the origin of our American Christmas stockings). Good children receive treats - candies, cookies, apples, and nuts, while naughty children receive switches or lumps of coal. Sometimes coins were left in the shoes, reminiscent of the life-saving dowries the saint provided. Today - especially in families of German extraction - children still put a shoe outside their bedroom doors on the eve of Saint Nicholas Day and expect to find candy and coins or small gifts in their shoes on December 6th.

Read: The Baker's Dozen: A Saint Nicholas Tale
-- Van Amsterdam the baker was well known for his honesty as well as for his fine Saint Nicholas cookies. He always gave his customers exactly what they paid for -- not more and not less. So, he was not about to give in when a mysterious old woman comes to him on Saint Nicholas Day and insists a dozen is thirteen! The woman's curse puts an end to the baker's business, and he believes it would take Saint Nicholas to help him. But if he receives that help, will it be exactly what he imagined? Find out in this inspiring legend from Dutch colonial New York about the birth of an honored American custom.

• Saint Nicholas: The Real Story -- Was there a real Santa Claus? To answer this question, host Mark Wilson, a distinguished historian, and archeologist travel not to the North Pole but to modern-day Turkey and Italy. There he uncovers clues leading to the truth about the man behind the legend.

• PLAYMOBIL Christmas Parade Set -- Show off your holiday spirit with the Christmas Parade. Set includes three child figures, St. Nicholas figure, horse, holiday lanterns, and other accessories. It encourages children to explore and learn while having fun. Figures can bend, sit, stand and turn their heads. Recommended for ages four to ten.

National Gazpacho Day
- Gazpacho is a classic Spanish vegetable soup consumed mostly during the summer months because of its refreshingly cold qualities. This tasty dish combines the best of summer vegetables including tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and onions.

National Pawnbrokers Day
- Celebrated on St. Nicholas Day, the patron saint of pawnbroking. Designed to acknowledge the valuable lending and retail services the pawnbroker provides his or her clientele.

Halifax, Nova Scotia, Destroyed (1917)
- More than 1,650 people were killed at Halifax in 1917 when the Norwegian ship Imo plowed into the French munitions ship Mont Blanc. Mont Blanc was loaded with 4,000 tons of TNT, 2,300 tons of picric acid, 61 tons of other explosives and a deck of highly flammable benzene, which ignited and touched off an explosion. In addition to those killed, 9,000 were injured. A tidal wave caused by the explosion washed much of the city out to sea.

Put On Your Own Shoes Day
- Perhaps this day was created by young mothers teaching their children how to put their shoes on for the first time!? Put on your own shoes could also mean to walk your own path in life.

Mitten Tree Day
- One day the kids with everything put their hats and mitts on the tree so the less fortunate could play. Some churches and organizations have mitten trees so you can donate mittens to those without.

Walt Disney's Birthday/Walt Disney Recognition Day (1901)
-- Walter Elias Walt Disney (December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966) was an American film producer, director, screenwriter, voice actor, animator, entrepreneur, entertainer, international icon, and philanthropist. Disney is famous for his influence in the field of entertainment during the 20th century.

Read: Walt Disney: The Triumph of the American Imagination
-- Walt Disney was a true visionary whose desire for escape, iron determination, and obsessive perfectionism transformed animation from a novelty to an art form, first with Mickey Mouse and then with his feature films–most notably Snow White, Fantasia, and Bambi. In his superb biography, Neal Gabler shows us how, over the course of two decades, Disney revolutionized the entertainment industry. In a way unprecedented and later widely imitated, he built a synergistic empire combining film, television, theme parks, music, book publishing, and merchandise. Walt Disney is a revelation of both the work and the man – of both the remarkable accomplishment and the hidden life.

• As Dreamers Do: The Amazing Life of Walt Disney -- Behind every great mouse there is a man - Armed with an ever-growing imagination and eternal optimism, Walt begins to develop skills as an animator early in life. He overcomes a variety of hardships to become one of the biggest icons in the world: Walt Disney.

• Birnbaum's 2020 Walt Disney World: The Official Vacation Guide -- The 2020 edition gives insider tips on how to see and do it all by delving into detailed descriptions of all attractions, resorts, and eateries; offering money-saving coupons and strategies to maximize your vacation budget; and pointing out what's new!

Manila Paper Birthday (1845)
- Manila paper (made from sails, canvas, and rope) was patented in Reading, Massachusetts on December 4, 1845.

Falcon Crest TV Premiere (1981)
- This 1981 nighttime serial was set in California wine country and originally focused on Angela Channing's determined efforts to gain control of the Falcon Crest vineyard and winery; later in the nine-year run, the emphasis turned to crime.

Saint Barbara's Day
- On this day, traditionally the feast day of St. Barbara, a young girl places a twig from a cherry tree in a glass of water. If it blooms by Christmas Eve, she is certain to marry the following year. Because the narratives of her life and martyrdom are legendary, St. Barbara was dropped from the Roman Catholic Calendar of Saints in 1970.

Telescope Birthday (1622)
-- It is quite a common belief Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei invented the telescope but this is not strictly true. The earliest workings towards the design of the refracting telescope were made by German-Dutch lensmaker Hans Lippershey in 1608. He referred to his design as a Dutch perspective glass, which he used for seeing things far away as if they were nearby. The word telescope wasn't coined in 1611 by the Greek mathematician Giovanni Demisiani for one of Galileo Galilei's instruments presented at a banquet at the Accademia dei Lincei.

Read: 50 Things To See With A Telescope
-- This colorful edition explores the constellations with young readers, guiding them to dozens of galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters. Every page features a helpful telescope view, showing exactly how objects appear through a small telescope or binoculars. John Read taught thousands of students how to use telescopes and explore the night sky. Now, he's sharing this knowledge with you! Even without a telescope, this introduction to the night sky is essential for every child's collection.


• Celestron PowerSeeker Telescope -- Celestron PowerSeeker telescopes are a great way to open up the wonders of the Universe to the aspiring astronomer. The PowerSeeker series is designed to give the first-time telescope user the perfect combination of quality, value, features, and power. Amateur astronomy is a great family hobby that can be enjoyed year-round, and Celestron's PowerSeeker is the ideal choice for an affordable and high-quality telescope providing many hours of enjoyment for the entire family.

• Captain Jack's Spyglass -- The main components are of high-quality aluminum alloy plating gold while the hand-held part is covered with high-quality leather. Collapsible eyepiece for compact storage. So cool for outdoors! And perfect to be a maritime or pirate collection as well!

National Roof Over Your Head Day
- A day of appreciation for the things we have, starting with the roof over our heads. A roof over our head usually signifies living in a house protecting us from the elements, keeping us warm, dry, and cozy. Unfortunately, not everyone is as lucky as you and I. There are many homeless people right here in our country. There are millions of people around the world who live in poverty or disaster areas and do not have a home to keep them comfortable and safe.

Make a Gift Day
- When a person takes the time to make a gift, they put their heart and soul into that gift, therefore the gift becomes more meaningful. This holiday is a great day to promote the idea of making gifts and remind everyone to find those crafty and artistic abilities we have and make a gift for someone.

International Day of Disabled Persons
- On October 14, 1992, at the end of the Decade of Disabled Persons, the General Assembly proclaimed December 3rd to be an annual observance to promote the continuation of integrating the disabled into general society.

Let's Hug Day
- Give a great big hug to all your family and friends and share if you dare the best hug you have ever received and why it was so special!

Neon Lighting Birthday (1910)
- Neon lighting is created by brightly glowing, electrified glass tubes or bulbs containing rarefied neon or other gases. Georges Claude, a French engineer, and inventor presented neon tube lighting in essentially its modern form at the Paris Motor Show from December 3–18, 1910.

A Streetcar Named Desire Broadway Opening (1947)
- Tennessee Williams's drama opened on Broadway at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre in 1947 with Jessica Tandy (as Blanche Du Bois) and newcomer Marlon Brando (as Stanley Kowalski). Williams was already a Broadway star with his first play, Glass Menagerie, and Streetcar was to be equally successful: it ran for two years and won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

Year after year, children and adults alike are baffled by the mystery of how Santa really knows who has been naughty or nice.

After much urging by the elves and Mrs. Claus, Santa has allowed his biggest secret to be revealed in The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition.

At the start of each Christmas season, the elf appears to serve as Santa's eyes and ears, traveling back to the North Pole each and every night to make a detailed report of the day’s activities.

This keepsake gift set includes a North Pole pixie scout elf and a hardbound watercolor picture book. Children can register their elf online to receive an official adoption certificate and a special letter from Santa.
