"If rain falls on Nicholas - the winter will be severe, a horror.
Dry St. Nicholas - mild winter around the house."
"If at Nicholas still flows the birch juice - then winter will not get any strength."
"St. Nicholas - flushes out the shores."
In Germany, Nikolaus is usually celebrated on a small scale. Many children put a boot called Nikolaus-Stiefel (Nikolaus boot) outside the front door on the night of 5 December. - St. Nicholas fills the boot with gifts and sweets overnight, and at the same time checks up on the children to see if they were good, polite and helpful the last year. - If they were not, they will have a tree branch (Rute) in their boots instead. - Sometimes a disguised Nikolaus also visits the children at school or in their homes and asks them if they have been good (sometimes ostensibly checking his golden book for their record), handing out presents on a per-behavior basis. - This has become more lenient in recent decades... - But for some children, Nikolaus also elicited fear, as he was often accompanied by Servant Ruprecht - who would threaten to beat the children for misbehavior as using this myth to 'bring up cheek children' for a better, good behavior. - Any kind of punishment isn't really following and just an antic legend. - Servant Ruprecht furthermore was equipped with eight deer legs. In Switzerland, where he is called Schmutzli, he would threaten to put bad children in a sack and take them back to the dark forest. - In other accounts he would throw the sack into the river, drowning the naughty children. - These traditions were implemented more rigidly in Catholic countries, - and regions such as Austria or Bavaria...
