Tonight, we were invited by friends Tate and Christina to celebrate the European Christmas tradition of Sankt Nikolaus Day; a holiday celebrated on December 6th in Christina’s home country of Liechtenstein. The small Principality of Liechtenstein lies on the border of Switzerland and Austria. On this day, Sankt Nikolaus and his trusty helper, Knecht Ruprecht (Black Peter), go from house to house and check with everyone to see if they were naughty or nice. The nice boys and girls get a gift. However, the naughty ones are stuffed into Knecht Ruprecht's bag and whisked off, never to be seen again. So, we dared to join in this European tradition complete with holiday cookies and cheer, but I suggested taking two cars as anyone who knows the Fly Guy knows he is naughty. Very naughty. So, he would absolutely be taken away by Knecht Ruprecht. Then, on second thought I decided maybe I would go home with Knecht Ruprecht. Especially once I learned his captives were taken to Spain! At that point, I was volunteering to get in the sack. Plus, that German accent. The devil in his eye. Afterall, isn't every girl secretly attracted to the bad boy?! Oh, Knecht!
