Sagittarius, December 19. Those born on this day are distinguished by a developed ability to evoke emotional reactions from others.
This is mainly due to the fact that their attitude to something, once formed, remains unchanged for life, as a result of which they tend to reject all possibilities of compromise solutions.
In any situation, they remain themselves, and it is very difficult or even completely impossible for them to put on a special mask in order to appear in society or do something to please others.
The life position of such people is often expressed by the attitude: "This is how I am - whether you like it or not!"

Holidays
December 19
St. Nicolas Day
Icon of the Nicholas the Miracles Creator in the Orthodox Church.
Today, Orthodox Christians celebrate St. Nicholas Day - the saint patron of sailors, merchants and children.
On the eve of the holiday children’s shoes, placed at the threshold, or socks, hung by the fireplace, have been putting presents from time immemorial. True, in our time, the “hiding place” has smoothly moved under the pillow, but the gifts from this have not become less desirable.
It is believed that only obedient children receive gifts, while the naughty ones are given rods or stones. But kids, as a rule, in anticipation of the holiday and, of course, gifts, are not tantalizing, trying to make it clear to Saint Nicholas that they are always ready to be good.
In a number of countries of the world, it was customary for Saint Nicholas to come to the children with his retinue. He is accompanied by two angels and two devils. The former must inform their patron about good children, while the latter whisper to Nicholas about all the provinces of the heroes of the occasion. Good always wins: none of the babies are left without gifts.
