December 4, 2010

In Germany on December 4th the children put out there shoes for Saint Nick to come and fill them with candy if they have been good. But if the children have been bad he fills their shoes with rocks, sticks, and coal to warn them they need to start acting good before Christmas. St Nick comes to the Riches house, so this year Marley got to put her boots out with the girls, to see how she was acting. Well good news her boots were filled with candy and nuts when she woke up the next morning. she was very excited to dig into her boots. Very cute tradition, and i think we will be carrying it into our family too.

  1. very cute idea -- hope St Nick will be generous with fruit and nuts and positively stingy on the candy! :)
