I'm on a roll, better not stop me know. Happy Nikolaus Day! Another German Tradition.
Since there are so many Germans in Michigan, Nikolaus makes a special stop here. Last night, Benjamin put his boot outside the front door. This morning, there were golden coins on the floor in the foyer. "Gold!" said Benjamin, he learned at school that Nikolaus would leave gold. The gold coins lead out the door to a boot full of treats. "Cool" said Benjamin. When he realized that the gold was in reality, chocolate coins, he asked where the real gold was.
Later, I took him to school & Nikolaus had been there and filled his House Shoes inside his locker. His eyes lit up and he said "Nikolaus is Nuts!"
I stayed to watch their Nikolaus event. They sang songs in German, recited a poem, then Nikolaus gave each of them a present.

I missed it! I would have put all my shoes outside for some gold. And St. Nicholas would have determined from the condition and style of my collection that I really need that gold.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet. Yeah...I'm sad I missed the shoe gold as well...:) So cool that he is still being immersed in German.
