Saint Nicholas Day, celebrated on December 6, is a holiday particularly appreciated by children in several European countries, notably in Belgium, the Netherlands and Eastern France. Every year, Saint Nicholas, the protector of children, comes to spoil them with treats and gifts. It is an ideal opportunity to offer unique and meaningful gifts, in line with the values of Mélimélo Kids.
The legend of Saint Nicholas
Legend has it that Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, was known for his kindness and miracles. His history of protecting children made him a benevolent figure, often depicted with a long white beard and mitre. Over time, this tradition has evolved, but the spirit of generosity endures and allows parents to spoil their little ones with carefully chosen gifts.
