Feast of St. Nicholas-09'

I'm running a little behind on my posting. I really admire mom's who seem to be able to put on all sorts of wonderful activities for their children and then blog about it later that night! Not me, but maybe some day!

Here are a few snap shots of how we celebrated St. Nicholas Eve:

Books with Hot Cocoa and Whipped cream, peppermint sprinkles, and candy canes for stirring.Checking to see if the chimney vent is open for St. Nicholas to drop some goodies in their shoes.

My 5 year old couldn't sleep because he was worried St. Nicholas would burn his feet on our candle in the fire place, so we had to move it to the table ;)

Montessori-ish St. Nicholas Presentation

The Saint Nicholas Center has a sweet little presentation for the Feast of St. Nicholas. On their website it says: "This story is for use with open, discovery-based approaches to children's Christian formation." One of them being the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

There is also a more detailed version for older children. Check it out by clicking HERE.

While at the website, I also found out that a new movie called, Nicolas, Bishop of Myra, is in production as we speak! It sounds interesting and I'm looking forward to it's release!
