St. Nicholas Day - We brought this holiday tradition with us from
Germany, and although we haven't been in Germany for several years now, it is now
a permanent fixture in our holiday routine. At school on Friday, Keagan's
teacher presented a lesson on St. Nicholas, and he was the only kid in the
class that could honestly say he celebrated "the boot holiday." This
week Evan was responsible for producing a poster that outlined a family holiday
tradition. He chose St. Nicholas Day. With all of this reinforcement, we definitely
couldn't ignore the day.
On December 5, the boys place Wes's black Army boots by the door and St. Nicholas fills them with candy and sticks (reminders that you must be on your best behavior if you want Santa to visit on the 24th). This year was no exception. We were awakened at a very early hour to see what St. Nick left this year. Pop Rocks were a huge hit!
