St. Nicholas Day is a holiday the whole world knows. Like children everywhere, children in Ukraine wait for it impatiently every year. The way the holiday is celebrated in Ukraine can differ from region to region and from family to family. It can include going to church for a prayer service. It can include kids painstakingly writing perfectly formulated letters that include a catalog of flawless behavior in the past year and requests for a desired toy, book, a computer mouse or an iPad. It can include gifts of candy and oranges placed neatly under a pillow promising a morning of surprise and joy and the assurance that the sweet kid will continue to believe that  St. Nicholas EXISTS. But there are consistent elements in any St. Nicholas Day celebration. Always there is an atmosphere of warmth; there are always preparations and there is always the possibility that a miracle will visit the children.
