			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>December 6th is St. Nicholas day and in following the tradition that I&#8217;ve practiced since I was a small child, I&#8217;ll put a nicely polished shoe outside my door the night before in the hopes that it will be filled with goodies when I awake the next morning.</p>
<p><em>In Germany</em><em>, Nikolaus is usually celebrated on a small scale. Many children put a boot, called Nikolaus-Stiefel, outside the front door on the night of December 5</em><em> to December 6</em><em>. St. Nicholas fills the boot with gifts, and at the same time checks up on the children to see if they were good. If they were not, they will have a tree branch (&#8220;Rute&#8221;) in their boots instead. </em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Nicholas" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/en.wikipedia.org');"><span style="color:#cc33cc;"><strong>Source</strong></span></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;m opting to put out a dainty little Mary Jane rather than a boot as I&#8217;m afraid my pirate girl <a href="http://spankingpixie.blogspot.com/2007/10/trick-or-treat.html" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/spankingpixie.blogspot.com');"><strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;">footwear</span></strong></a> might sway his decision between &#8220;gifts&#8221; and &#8220;branches&#8221;.</p>

Will it be sweets or switches?</p>
