What is the tradition in the area? Is St. Nicolas Day celebrated in Minnesota. Growing up in eastern Wisconsin we observed it but the area I grew up in was primarily of German, Irish, and Polish descent.

Not that I've ever heard. Some of us still recognize St. Lucia Day on December 13 because of its significance to Swedes.

I'm not familiar with any organized St. Nick activities either. Sometimes the kids' teachers would do something at school when they were in early elementary years but that was about it.

I know some families who celebrate it because of the German immersion school.

My church celebrates it in a big way, but on December 19 as we are Russian and we follow the old calendar.
