Every 6th of December St. Nick comes and leaves goodies for the girls.

Does St. Nick visit your house, and if so, what does he bring? At home he left the girls clementines, ice cream cone shaped marshmallows, chocolates and advent calendars {yes, we were late getting started on our chocolate filled ones this year}. At school he brings games to each class and other things their teachers would like for them to have in the classroom. He also reads a special poem to each classroom telling them what good children and students they have been this year.

Emma and her friend Willow on the other hand, were fascinated by it, or at least by something on the ceiling...with these two who knows what it was that caught their eye.

I know I recommend this book about St. Nicholas just about every year around this same time, but it's still one our family's favorite books. It's feeling a little more like Christmas everyday and I love it!
