As Eastern Orthodox Christians, we celebrate feast days for particular Saints. So Yesterday we celebrated the Feast of Saint Nicholas December (6/19). Yes, yours truly--the real Saint Nicholas. It is traditional for the children to receive Coins (chocolates) and other treats in their shoes on this day. Our family also opens stockings on this day...so here is a picture of Arseny's shoes filled with his "treats" and one of Matthew with Arseny opening his stocking. On the wall along with his icon, we made a Saint Nicholas calendar (we put on a cotton ball for every day starting on the 1st of December until he had a full beard--December 19) this was fun!

I like the Saint Nicholas beard calendar idea; we may have to incorporate that in our house next year.
