Children were greeted this morning with house shoes filled with surprises from St. Nikolaus. What a magical and festive way to start the day!

Photos from Kinderhaus's post 12/01/2022

The Kinderhaus children created a giant St. Nikolaus Day boot in anticipation of December 6, St. Nikolaus Day, commemorating the patron saint of children. The custom in Germany is for kids to put an actual boot outside their bedroom door for St. Nikolaus to fill with candy and treats to be discovered the following morning. The American tradition of stockings over the fireplace on Christmas Eve is rooted in the same history.
