It is a custom in the whole world to give gifts in socks on Christmas day, ie becoming a secret Santa.
Suddenly, a bag full of gold fell into his house in these socks. This happened not once but three times. The last time this man was seen by Nicholas. Nicholas asked not to tell this to anyone. But soon the noise of this thing came out. From that day, whenever anyone would get a secret gift, everyone would think that Nicholas gave it.
Gradually, this story of Nicholas became popular. Because it has been a custom to give gifts to children on Christmas day. That is why the first Nicholas story in the UK, especially in England, formed the basis and was named Father Christmas and Old Man Christmas. After this, the custom of giving gifts in the socks on the day of Christmas, ie Secret Santa, went on.
