Two tapping feet

The boots of St. Nicholas and a Merry Christmas to All

"There is a wonderful custom not quite as old as the hills, about children putting their shoes outside their bedroom door before sleeping time, on December 5, in the hope that St. Nicholas will come in the night and put gifts in their feetless shoes. December 6th is his feast day. I still put mine out with the hope that I will wake, put on my shoes, and rejoice in the gift of my two tapping feet alive and well in the morning."
