This holiday is often associated with numerous charity events, fundraisers and gift drives for orphaned children and people who find themselves in need. Of course, many parents consider their children’s wishes when they choose a gift.
It is up to parents to decide what gift to put under the child’s pillow (sweets, toys or book, for example). These cookies are put under the children’s pillows as sweet presents for the holiday and are given to all the friends and relatives as a wish of joy and health. On this occasion, women bake round cookies called ‘mykolaychyky’ with different fillings and decorations. Nicholas would definitely prepare the present for those who behaved well but even those who did not can expect something pleasant in case they promise try better next year.
The fulfillment of the material wish depends on the child’s behavior during the year.
Shortly before the holiday Ukrainian children, often with the help of their parents, write letters to Saint Nicholas where they list all their dearest wishes – material (new toys or other goods) and spiritual (health and happiness for parents, relatives and friends).
