My List of Things to do:
Before St. Nicholas Day (Thursday, December 6):
- Hang stockings
- Decide on a new recipe from another country that we will make during the day.
- Gather stocking stuffers: ideas: glow lights, new pens, and a gift for each
- Make goody bags for friends: homemade candies (pecan brittle, toffee, peppermint bark)
- Read to the kids about St. Nick -- find book and have ready (Santa, Are You For Real? by Harold Myra)
- Have kids select items they are going to give away that day
- Plan where we will visit with our bags of give-aways (Waterfront Rescue Mission?)
- Make tags for friends' goody bags
- Buy cello bags or look at what we might have (dollar store) for goody bags

Youre doing such a good job of keeping me updated on what to do for St Nicholas day! I decided to let the girls secretly buy 2 small gifts for each of their sisters. I wrapped them and included one from myself. Ill put them in their stockings for Thursday morning. We also went over the story of St Nicholas. I think this is going to be a fun tradition. Thanks again for sharing it with us.
