Luci's 1st Nikolaus!





Today is St. Nikolaus day, a very traditional German Holiday. Grandma B. brought this wonderful tradition to America and her family has been thankful ever since. On the evening of December 5th all the children put their winter boots outside the door and Nikolaus comes and fills your boots with treats and surprises when you wake up on Dec. 6th. It does not replace stockings on Christmas Day, it is just in addition to, which makes it even more wonderful.
