Saint-Nicholas challenge for well-behaved girls and boys

in#hivebuzz

You've been a good boy or girl all year with all your Hive friends? Perfect, you are just a few steps away from getting an exclusive badge.

Why celebrate Saint Nicholas?

Saint Nicholas' Day, observed on December 6 in Western Christian countries, December 5 in the Netherlands and December 19 in Eastern Christian countries, is the feast day of Saint Nicholas.

It is celebrated with particular regard to his reputation as a bringer of gifts.

In Ukraine, children wait for St. Nicholas to come and to put a present under their pillows provided that the children were good during the year. Children who behaved badly may expect to find a twig or a piece of coal under their pillows.

In the Netherlands, "Dutch children put out a clog filled with hay and a carrot for Saint Nicholas' horse. On Saint Nicholas' Day, gifts are tagged with personal humorous rhymes written by the sender."

In the United States, one custom associated with Saint Nicholas Day is children leaving their shoes in the foyer on Saint Nicholas Eve in hope that Saint Nicholas will place some coins on the soles, for them to awake to. Source Wikipedia

Were you kind enough to deserve a gift?

HiveBuzz has prepared a new badge for all the Hivers that have been kind throughout the year.

If you have been a good boy or girl, follow these rules to get your badge:

  1. Upvote this post!

  2. Write a comment on this post before December 7 at 23:59 UTC telling us the gift you would like to receive from Saint-Nicolas. The funnier, the better!
    Who knows, maybe you will receive what you asked for...

  3. Tag one friend of yours who you know has also been a well-behaved boy or girl during the year. You may both get an additional gift if they also successfully complete the challenge.

Example:

Dear Saint Nicholas, I wish to receive a Hive-Punk that looks like you. I know @arcange has been a good boy in 2021.

BEWARE:
No more than
1 comment
and
1 friend tag
otherwise Saint Nicholas will not be happy and will disqualify you!

Thank you Saint Nicholas!


PS: Badges and gifts will be distributed from December 6. Do not forget the carrot for Saint Nicholas' donkey!

    Dear Saint-Nicholas, I have been a good boy all year long. I didn't say bad words, or really not a lot.

    I would like to receive a brand new Lambo to go with my friends to the next edition of HiveFest. I know of many nice girls and boys on Hive and @traciyork has been one of them.

    Here a carrot kit for your donkey:

        This year I have behaved well, I think I deserve a little present from Santa, so I'm going to start making my wish.

        First of all, I would like to ask for good health for all the people in this world, especially for those who are in hospital this Christmas, so that they may soon recover their health and enjoy being with their families.

        And if it is not too much to ask, I would like for me to have many customers who buy my biscuits, 🤭 so I would have a little more income, so Santa can give more gifts to other people, because otherwise I start asking for shoes, clothes, an oven that does not burn my biscuits, and stop counting.

        I have a friend who has also been very good this @thekittygirl

          Hey there, St-Nicolas. I've been truer to myself and took part in an event to give of myself and feel so good about it.

          If such a thing exists, I'd like a tag-tucker-inner. You know, something that just automatically tucks in the shirt tag when my husband forgets to tuck it in. Honestly, I cut mine off, I don't know why he doesn't and he doesn't want me cutting them off. So, a practical little thing like that would be great.

          Oh, and here, @clixmoney deserves some goodies too.

                                  I believe that @rozku was a good girl, at least when people were watching ;-)
