As a wealthy Christian, Saint Nicholas felt called by God to help the poor by doing good deeds. His acts of kindness sowed the seed of the tradition of giving gifts at Christmas and placing them in a stocking.

Check out this slideshow of my step by step process of making my Kindersocken puppet!
Originally this wasn't even a character! I was going to do another video with my Unkle Krampus puppet, but ran out of time for that one (next year!)
But I wanted to do something and created Kindersocken as the straight man to Unkle Krampus' antics! I love when characters appear out of necessity, and Kindersocken is one of my favorites I've created ❤
