A beautiful St Nicholas Day (and a bit more about yesterday!)

Last night we had dinner with the Munchkin before Vigil! 

This morning's liturgy was lovely...

and the kids all got goodie bags!

And I handed out my cookies...:) 

We had a lovely festive lunch, and the White Sister sold many things

to us, to our delight (such special things!)...

We went on home afterwards and did things that needed doing...

and I finally got my candle light dinner tonight!

And we opened our St Nicholas gifts!

The miniature is my gift from Mr Husband and I just LOVE it...

My Husband says of it that it's 'straight out of Dickens' :) 

I got Mr Husband a lovely book of Fairy Tales as we both love these,

and I got tea (Welsh Breakfast Tea, ala Tasha Tudor!), we got cookies, my sweetie gave me some movies he had stashed away

and he added to his toy soldier collection!
Plus two small booklets from what the White Sister was selling!

And we got a lovely hand-painted Christmas Tree ornament from our 2 year old godson L...

his Mother mailed it to us of course :)
Dinner was leftover fish from the night before and noodles!
We had cookies beforehand for tea...
And now it's late and I am here to say that we are so thankful for this day...
Also my Grandma is doing well and is now at my Aunt M's house for a bit
to have some time to recover from the surgery...
And we wish everyone God's mercy and protection and comfort in these days.
May He carry us to the comfort of Christ being born at Christmas!
