Happy St. Nicholas Day

Our children have their shoes lined up in the hall tonight, St. Nicholas Eve...when they awaken in the morning they will find a chocolate Santa Claus and other Christmas candies inside (which hopefully will survive past breakfast!).

Along with our Sunday night Advent celebrations, when we light another candle and one of the children reads a devotional and prayer -- often followed by watching a Christmas movie or special -- celebrating St. Nicholas Day is one of our family's favorite Advent/Christmas traditions.
