Answer:
He changed the date of gifts-giving from December 6 to December 24, Christmas eve.
Explanation:
The Catholics chose December 6 as St. Nicholas Day. That day was meant for the veneration of the saints as well as the giving of gifts. To eliminate the act of venerating saints and draw more attention to Christ, Martin Luther changed the date of gifts-giving from December 6 to Christmas Eve. A young child was used to depict Christ or an angel, who brought gifts for the children.
The Christkind dropped gifts under the Christmas tree after which, the children can pick it. Today, the Santa Claus plays this role in some climes.

The narrator's regret makes him more thoughtful and reflective about his choices and the people he will be involved with in the future.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- "The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant," tells the story of a fisherman who is in love with his neighbor, Sheila, and invites her on a date.
- She accepts the invites, but hates the moment when she finds out that the date will be on his boat.
- He says that he likes fishing and being on the boat, in the water, but realizes that Sheila doesn't share this feeling and that he's not enjoying the ride.
- At this point, a very large fish pulls the fishing net that the fisherman left in the boat. This causes the boat to shake violently and the fisherman must decide whether to hold the fish or to hold Sheila so she doesn't fall into the water.
- He decides to hold Sheila but regrets it.
The fisherman regrets this decision because he loves fishing and that fish would be a great victory for his life, Sheila, however, did not seem all that interesting.
This makes the narrator rethink his actions for the future and rethink the people he wants to be close to him, as it is better to avoid people who despise his interests, like Sheila.
