[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 328889, member: 1963"] When I lived in Germany, "St. Nicholas" went around in a horse-drawn sleigh. He was dressed in the traditional clothing of a medieval bishop and was assisted by "Black Peter", a Moor believed to be descended from one of the original Wise Men. Black Peter would never "fly" in the US as in most places in Germany, he was a caucasian wearing blackface. Some Catholic blacks from the Army base tried acting as Black Peter for the Christmas festivals, but got so much negative feedback from their peers that they gave it up, which was kind of sad.
