About St. Nicholas Day:

In some countries around the world, it’s believed that Santa Claus arrives in the night on the 24th of December. In Poland (and other countries) Saint Nicholas comes with presents for children on the 6th of December. This holiday is known as Dzien Świętego Mikołaja or Mikołajki (Saint Nicholas’ Day). (Mikołaj is the Polish name for Nicholas.)

In Poland, Saint Nicholas arrives dressed as a bishop in bright clothing caring a shepherds staff. It is said he arrives from heaven with an angel helper and travels by foot, horse or in a sleigh pulled by a white horse as he visits each home. Occasionally he comes dressed in traditional Western Santa Class attire.
