Happy Saint Nicholas Eve!

This is a picture of my brother Bob, my sister Marianne and me opening the Advent Calendar in our attic apartment in Germany.  This would be the first Christmas we spent in Germany.  Most of our family traditions are from that year and that experience in Germany.  Tonight is the night to put your shoes out if you believe in St. Nicholas.  Then tomorrow morning you will find goodies in them!  All of our children and grandchildren know that he is coming tonight!  This is also the second Sunday of Advent.
