On December 6th, our family has always celebrated St. Nicholas Day. It falls early in the Advent season. Some places he arrives in the middle of November and moves about the countryside, visiting schools and homes to find out if children have been good. (We have been very good in our family, whew!) Other places he comes in the night and finds carrots and hay for his horse or donkey along with children's wish lists. (We made our wish lists, but we are going to fill them in Colorado, so he did not take them from us!) Small treats were left in our shoes so we knew that he had come. We were not disappointed this year. We awoke to fruit, chocolate, purfume and our Christmas ornaments for this year. We ate breakfast by candlelight. I made French toast, before Laura set off for school. At night we enjoyed a dinner of yummy chicken soup, garlic bread and Laura's favorite, chocolate milk!
Happy St. Nicholas Day everyone!!!
