Today is a special morning in Germany. Nikolaustag!
Children put their shoes out by the door the night of December 5th in the hopes St. Nick will fill them with candy and chocolate coins. I love Nikolaustag and since I am German we celebrate it each year and of course my kids put out their shoes last night:

We also left out some carrots for the donkey that Nikolaus rides on and it seems my kids were good this year!

ReplyDeleteSo perfect! My whatever multi great grandfather came over from Germany and my mom would tell me how HER grandmother still spoke (and swore) in German when she got flustered and tried to carry on traditions like this. Maybe next year I'll start to teach John some of his different family history traditions!
