In Europe, December 6th is a special day called “St. Nicholas Day” every year. Do you know the wonderful story of St. Nicholas, the origin of Santa Claus? When he found out that a daughter was too poor to marry, he saved her by throwing gold coins from the chimney of her house. It is said that the gold coin happened to fall into a sock that was hanging out by the fireplace. This story became the basis for the story of Santa Claus entering through the chimney of a house and putting gifts in the socks prepared by the children.
Ear plates are available this year. It depicts a Santa boy enjoying Christmas. This year’s event is titled “Star Christmas.” We sincerely hope that you will welcome it into your home as a new lucky charm.
