In the state of Illinois, December 20th was traditionally the night when Santa visited certain homes, to see who was "Present-Bragging". That is, had so much disposable income, that a host of Christmas Presents were installed under the tree, as boast of just how rich they were.
Santa, aided by Tabernacles the wolf (here he must be taking the picture) would visit at 11.37pm, and take half of the presents, to redistribute to more worthy (and poorer) recipients.
Alas, this tradition seems to have died out. I blame Donal Trump.
