Today is your name day if your name is: Niklas or Nikolaus.
The Dutch are big on celebrating the feast of Saint Nicholas, or Sinterklaas. This is one of the very popular children's songs sung on the day, that my sister and I always like to sing.
Sinterklaas kaopoentje,
gooi wat in minj schoenthe,
gooi wat in mij laarsje,
dank u, Sinterklaasje
See this website for a little history of the holiday as celebrated by the Dutch. Sinterklaas is actually the basis for our American Santa Claus, so all the Santa lover/haters can thank/blame the Dutch I guess.
