St. Nicholas

A tradition I always celebrated as a kid was St. Nicholas! His feast day is Dec 6 and we celebrate his generous life of giving, especially to children! We read a story of St. Nicholas' life before bedtime. Traditionally, children set out their shoes for St. Nicholas to fill, but Grant decided stockings were a better idea because the first gift St. Nicholas ever gave were gold coins in a sock hung by the fireplace to dry. 

So the boys woke up to find that St. Nicholas came, bearing gifts, of course!

(sorry for the bad quality- dark mornings and iPhone's dont mix!)

St. Nicholas brought The Wonder Pets Save the Nutcracker DVD and a Candy Land book for Grant and a Max and Ruby Christmas DVD and a Candy Land book for Wyatt! Grant said, "St. Nicholas knew just what we liked!"
