Saint Nicholas

Good ole St. Nicholas came in the night and left some goodies for the kids. They had hung their stockings up last night, and were so excited they couldn’t sleep. They were not disappointed! St. Nicholas left candy pops, nuts, an orange, Life Saver Storybooks, and a toy for each.

We are not Czech, but we enjoy this tradition and love the meaning behind it. We have been celebrating it since the kids started Catholic school 6 years ago. We will watch a movie about St. Nicholas when the kids get home, and the Polar Express this evening after dinner. For me, the season starts today, with the celebration of the feast of St. Nicholas

Now my house is sticky, given the fact that Mia enjoyed her “P-pop”, as she calls lollipops.
