St. Nicholas

Christmas
Helen agonized over which shoes to put out for St. Nicholas....combat boots? purple flats? Finally these plaid flats appeared in front of the fire. They each received the traditional chocolate coins, a little felted treasure, and a chocolate orange. I have a box of gold stars from Ikea which I use every year to just add to the magic.
A simple, but much treasured tradition. At least this year I remembered to get the chocolate coins in time. Last year we were a day late!
Oh, lovely! James got a triangle to play with but we're still waiting for a book about St. Nicholas(it should be here tomorrow). ahem!
