We celebrate St Nicholas day during the Nativity season each year. Our stockings get opened on this day and we tend to make special treats for others. This year we made special star cookies--sugar cookies with sprinkles. You'll see Arseny getting a cookie for breakfast as a real treat on the Morning of St. Nicholas day. We colored and decorated a calendar of St Nicholas (which I didn't get a picture of) On the eve of St. Nicholas day we go to Church and the kids leave their shoes downstairs during the service. The story of Saint Nicholas is read after the service to the children and all the while downstairs the kids shoes are being filled with treats (oranges and gold coins -chocolate). It is a lot of fun and I of course failed to bring my camera to take a picture of the filled little shoes. I did however get some pictures of the morning of St Nicholas Feast day. The kids are sporting their little reindeer antlers and so is daddy on one of them.
