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.

well stockyards mean a large yard containing pens and sheds, typically adjacent to a slaughterhouse, in which livestock is kept and sorted. and i'm assuming that by party you   mean a large group of people which does make sense because chicago is a very crowded place much like new york. stockyards tend to take up a lot of room due to needing the area for pens to keep animals in and the fact that stockyards are usually right by slaughterhouse where they process and distribute the product. so its much like a zoo but with some dead animal products close by.

most likely you should find things like facts and important information to you understand. i hope this .
