Has anyone heard or the New Year's Eve custom of Nimblefingers? When I was a child, we were instructed to leave an empty cookie sheet out on New Year's Eve. Overnight a tall thin man with long thin fingers and a tall had named Nimblefingers would fill the cookie sheet with candy and other goodies. I was told this was an old English custom, but, have as of yet to find anyone else that has heard of it.
