Belsnickel

Tuesday, December 6th was the Feast of St. Nicholas, or Belsnickel. Daddy always celebrated Belsnickel when he was little by leaving out his shoes or boots for St. Nicholas to leave a treat (if he was good) or some coal (if he was bad). So the night before I had C&G find their snow boots (that we hadn't even WORN yet!) and set them for St. Nick. If he brought them treats, then they were hanging out on the Nice List, and if he brought them coal, then they needed to work on getting off the Naughty List!

So, let's see what Good Ol' St. Nick brought!?!?

A beautiful Cinderella ornament for Gillian!


And a cool Thomas ornament for Colin!

Huh. They must on the Nice List after all!
