[color=#000000ost_uid0]Steam boat from Spain? Hardly... To tell you the truth, I think no one here knows where St. Nicholas comes from. The location of his headquarters remains shrouded in mystery...

Also, besides The Netherlands and Croatia, I have verified information that St. Nicholas is also celebrated in Slovenia and Hungary. You probably all heard of Hungary... while Slovenia is a tiny country between Italy, Croatia and Austria.

I think he`s called Sv. Miklavz in Slovenia. And God knows what`s his name in Hungary... the Hungarian, Finnish and Estonian languages are vastly different from all other languages in Europe.[/colorost_uid0]
