Feast of St. Nicholas 2012

Today is the Feast of Saint Nicholas… a day my sisters and I always looked forward to growing up…

The tradition in our family (and for many families around the world) is that children put a pair of shoes outside their room for St. Nick before bedtime on December 5th…and if they’ve been good all year leading up to the Christmas season…he will leave them a treat in their shoes the next morning. I love this tradition… it is so fun and so special to carry it on with my own children! This year Saint Nick brought Ava a new pair of mittens (such a practical guy 😉 ) and some jelly beans and he brought a new rattle for Charlie.

Happy feast of Saint Nicholas day!
