Saint Nicolas
In Switzerland we celebrate Saint Nicolas on December 6th, one day after the Dutch do their Sinterklaas. It's way more low-key than here, but it's still a special day, especially for children, who get excited to see Saint Nicolas and his donkey coming to villages to give out mandarines, peanuts and little chocolates.
