Santa Claus is coming to town

It's Saint Nicholas Day/ Mikuláš/ Święty Mikołaj today! HURRA!!! And apparently I was a good child last year, 'cause He brought me something - stuffed elephant which is almost the same as the one I had when I was a child.
Tak w ogole to chcialam napisac po polsku ale uzywam komputera Ksiecia bez polskich liter i tak jakos dziwnie. A to o Mikolaju chce napisac po angielsku bo w Polsce jest podobnie ale czesc moich znajomych i nieznajomych czytajacych tem blog (znajomi i rodzina Ksiecia) nie maja pojecia ze Mikolaj przychodzi 6 grudnia! Trzeba ich uswiadomic!
So for those of you who think that Santa Claus comes on December 25, I have news: in this part of the world, he comes on December 6! And then second time, sometimes as Little Jesus (in Czech Republic), sometimes as The First Star (parts of Poland), sometimes again as Santa Claus (other parts of Polnd)! Czechs have very interesting traition of Mikuláš, Anděl a Čert” (Nicolas, Angel and Devil) suddenly appear on the streets of Prague on December 5 and 6, asking children if they have been good for the past year. And šMikuláš, as Polish Mikolaj, is dressed as a bishop. The Devil is suppose to drag off bad children to hell, and the Angel is a protector of good children (or something like that :)). So I was good, 'cause I get a present :)) Thank You, Santa Claus!
