St. Nicholas has arrived!
Prije puno godina, dok Djed Mraz još nije sa Sjevernog pola pronašao naše malo mjesto,
Sveti Nikola je dolazio djeci i stavljao im poklone na prozor.
Many many years ago, long before Santa Clause found his way to our little village,
Saint Nicholas used to put childrens' presents on the window.

Prije puno godina, dok Djed Mraz još nije sa Sjevernog pola pronašao naše malo mjesto,
Sveti Nikola je dolazio djeci i stavljao im poklone na prozor.
Many many years ago, long before Santa Clause found his way to our little village,
Saint Nicholas used to put childrens' presents on the window.
Djeca su sinoć stavila svoje najveće moguće čizme na prozor.
A jutros ih je dočekalo ovo:
My kids put their most biggest boots on a window last night.
And this is what they were waiting for:
Sveti Nikola je došao, svakom je donio po nešto i, za svaki slučaj, šibu.
St. Nicholas has arrived, put some presents into boots and a small twig, just in case.
Sveti Nikola je bio biskup koji je sve svoje zemaljsko blago
podijelio siromašnima.
Zaštitnik je djece i pomoraca.
Kod nas uvijek dolazi morskim putem,
pa ga djeca čekaju na obali.
St. Nicholas was a bishop who was born in a wealthy family
and who donated all his material possesions to the poor.
He is also a patron of children and sea men.
That's whay he always comes to our village by ship.
Children are waiting for him at the pear.
(This photos were taken 11 yrs ago, when my daughter
was in kindergarten.)
Naravno, tu je i Krampus.
Ovaj, srećom, ima samo plastične lance kojima plaši djecu.
Ima i pregršt šiba, za one koji nisu bili baš dobri.
With St. Nicholas comes a little devil - Krampus.
He has a chains to scare off the children.
Nowadays they are plastic, but they were real in past time.
Krampus also has a lot of twings,
he gives those to children that weren't good.
Pošto je Sveti Nikola biskup, ima biskupsku kapu i štap
i najčešće nosi bijelu odjeću.
Djeci dijeli poklone.
Since St. Nicholas was a bishop, he has a bishop hat,
usually wears white clothes and has a bishop cane.
He gives children presents.
Neka djeca se plaše Krampusa.
Some kids are scared of Krampus.
Neka djeca uživaju.
Some kids enjoy themselfes.
A što je sa roditeljima?
Mi smo isto nešto dobili u naše čizmice jutos..
Šiba je valjda obavezna za sve mame i tate.
What about the parents?
Well, we too have got our presents.
But, I belive twings for Moms and Dads are obligatory as well.
Nadamo se da će Sveti Nikola doći i slijedeće godine.
We hope that St. Nicholas will find his way to our home again next year.
