The Quest For Accuracy

Tony, the DU Bookstore's Quick Copy Center Manager (pictured above), told me today that Marty, the store's Textbook Manager, has been telling people that today, December 5th, is St. Nicholas Day.  This is not true.  In point of fact, St. Nicholas Day is always celebrated on December 6th.  Marty has been all excited lately about the Christmas season and the Christmas traditions of his favorite city, Prague, and seems to have gotten confused. However, in fairness to Marty, presents might sometimes be exchanged on St. Nicholas Eve.  Plus, a second round of presents is then exchanged on Christmas Day.  Talk about "win-win."  Book my flight to Prague immediately!
