This year was no exception. Before bed, we placed our shoes in the hallway upstairs to await St. Nick's arrival. (We put the shoes upstairs this year instead of by the front door, as my babysitting kid arrive before my kids have to get up for school and I didn't want them to get into my kids' things.)
And St. Nick did not disappoint.
This year Rebecca received a theater ornament and a pack of m&ms.
Jacob received an "Undertaker" wrestling ornament and a pack of m&ms.
Benjamin received a "Macho Man Randy Savage" wrestling ornament and a pack of m&ms.
Bill and I each received a pack of Reese's big cups. They were yummy!
This is one of the traditions that our kids look forward to and it is a fun way to celebrate the holidays!
We were never one to do the St Nicholas day shoe. neither of us grew up with it, so not something I thought to add. I have several friends though that really like the simplicity of it it , often done before the school day starts. It is a lovely tradition.
ReplyDeleteNeither my husband nor I did this tradition growing up. Rebecca did it in preschool and asked why St. Nick didn't come to our house. I was looking for someway to give the kids their yearly ornaments in a special way, so it kind of came together.
