Leaving wooden shoes, or sabots, outside is a Christmas tradition. In America, why do people hang up their stockings? Because it is a way of receiving small presents.
Some traditions say that Santa Claus, or Saint Nicholas places small presents in the children's' shoes. Others say that its the Three Kings. But in all versions, kids leave their shoes out so they can wake up in the morning and find their shoes full of small gifts.
