Saint Nicholas Day

Today, Dec. 6th, is a holiday in central to eastern Europe, St. Nicholas Day. I was clueless but V remembered. Kids put a boot outside the door to be filled with candy. We leave our shoes out on the stairs leading to our apartment anyway, so we put some candy and two small gifts out there for the kids to find this morning. They were suprised, "whaaat ... wow," because they didn't expect it at all, not realizing that it was a holiday here in Germany.

I do this with my kids every year. For me it is part of my heritage that I want to pass onto my kids. Even though they are teenagers now, they still can't wait to see what Nicholaus left in their shoes.
