Kids got gifts on St. Nicholas Day in some places, on Epiphany in others, and adults gifted each other at the new year. Also, the 12 days of Christmas started on Christmas day and ended January 6, so Christmas trees would still be up in many households.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00684124498981972463noreply@blogger.com
