Saint Nicholas Day...

St. Nicholas Eve we met dear friends for dinner

and gave small gifts.

Mr. Husband and I somehow got both sets of our car 

keys locked in the car but thankfully help came 

within the hour.

And so we could all go to vigil for St. Nicholas day.

Church is always so beautiful at night...

The oil we were anointed with last night was so fragrant... 

St. Nicholas the much loved!

It was a lovely service.

We went to liturgy in the morning and handed out

cookies and things of dried cherries.

In return we were given some lovely ginger muffins and 

other surprises!

I am so grateful for St. Nicholas and all

the help he gives us!

I read this book to children last night and this morning

and it is simple and lovely.
