On this day they visit the children in the woods or at home. Samichlaus wears a long red robe with a fur lined hood, carries a big book, a bag filled with sweets and oranges, and a bundle of switches. Schmutzli looks like a chimney sweep wearing a long dark robe. He carries a broom switch and a sack over his shoulder in which to deposit children who have not been their best over the past year.</DIV><BR />As the children stand facing him, Samichlaus reads from the book, which lists the good and bad deeds of each child. Individually, he praises each child for the good things and expresses his hope that the child will correct those things which need improvement. After he has finished speaking, Samichlaus expects each child to sing, or recite a poem for him. Children are warned that if they are naughty, Schmutzli will take them into the woods in the sack.</SPAN></BLOCKQUOTE></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blogstk.blogspot.com/2005/12/no-no-i-do-not-mean-shmoopie.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/blogstk.blogspot.com/img/029111F8-6735-4450-BE31-AD252F50E5D0" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/A5379CAB-6A2D-478A-BBF3-8D1F9DE29CF1/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
