This winter, many families will have left cookies for St. Nicholas on his feast day, or plan to do so on the 24th. But leave them where, exactly? On the kitchen counter, perhaps.

On November 26, 2014, a post was made on what was then Twitter by the user @dril (one of the individuals at the forefront of what was affectionately referred to as “weird Twitter”): “my big sons have made a mess of the garage again after being riled up by the good word of the Lord.”…
