Last Monday was St. Nicholas' Feast Day. Daddy always celebrated it when he was little by putting his shoes out the night before, and St. Nick would leave little treats and a lump of coal (to remind Daddy to be good until Christmas). Grammy Lynn was kind enough to channel some St. Nick's treats our way. So, Monday morning,the kids' wellies ended up on the coffee table with the treat inside for them to find!
It's amazing how quickly they picked up the word PRESENT!
What did St. Nick treat us with? Christmas shirts! To keep us festive until the BIG day!
No coal though. I don't think St. Nick's intermediary thinks C&G need ANY reminders to be good boys and girls....

I love hearing all the different St. Nick traditions! My family always celebrated St. Nick's Day by putting our letters for Santa in our stockings. In our house it was said that St. Nick would come to take our letters to the North Pole and would leave our stockings full of treats and small presents. I like your family tradition too, especially the coal reminder! What fun!!
