St. Nicholas Day is one of my favorite traditions to celebrate at Christmas! It tells the true story behind Santa Claus! I love to bring the real stories to life and show the boys that the magic of Christmas is a real thing! Because without St. Nicholas, we probably wouldn't have Santa Claus! And although that's not the reason for the season, the love behind it is!
I found this book at the Christian bookstore and it was a wonderful story and easy for them to understand.
After we read the book, the boys put out their shoes in hopes that St. Nicholas would come! Shed kept an eye out too and decided he needed to read the St. Nicholas book too! And sure enough, that night, St. Nicholas came! He brought gold coins, just like he did the first day when he visited the three girls, except ours were made of chocolate! He also brought them a little toy, a snowglobe with the Nativity scene, and an orange. The boys were overjoyed!
I love seeing the magic of Christmas through their eyes. Their innocence, their love, their passion! It makes my heart happy to know that they have embraced the true reason for the season and find the magic through it all!!
