You Better Watch out, Čert is Coming to Town You Better Watch out, Čert is Coming to Town 5. 12. 2014 Author: Damien Galeone One of my favorite days of the year is approaching: December 5th, St. Mikuláš Day. Now, as I understand it, on the night before, St. Mikuláš walks around and interrogates children about their behavior during the past year.
