St Nicholas Day

Our St Nicholas activities were spread out over two days since Pip was away for most of the day with her Rainbow group.  In addition to a book each and chocolate coins Benedict and Pip woke to these two helpers sitting by the hearth:

 Two Jule Tomten

Pip's book was this one and Benedict's was this one



Pip and I made our St Nicholas biscuits after lunch today:

 Look who is helping ...


 ... her new friend.


 Santa and his sack.


 The finished yummy biscuits.

Hello San, Happy St. Nicholas Day! It's almost Santa Lucia Day now! I just returned from my parents' new senior housing apartment. It's a very nice space, and I hope they can acclimate themselves and be alright, but it's so hard to do when one is so . . . much older! It's really not easy for them and I hope my sister and I have done the right thing. My Mom did agree that she wanted to give it a try . . so we'll see. Thank you so much for your prayers :)

Pip is so cute, and your St. Nicholas celebration looks so warm and inviting; a really nice day. I see sunshine in these pictures! Your house gets beautiful light when it shines! We've had a very grey and cold week with some snow. I haven't minded. Chanda and I enjoy the winter, and our local meat market owner says he loves the wintertime also :) Not many people do.

Enjoy the holiday time. We're into our Nutcracker weekend. I'll try and post updates. xoxo

I just discovered this tomten post! How cute! Do you know the books by Astrid Lindgren about Tomte Tummetott?
