St. Nicholas Day

Happy St. Nicholas Day, everyone! Did you remember to leave out your shoes last night? I left my L.L. Bean felt clogs by the bedroom door, and sure enough, I had a St. Nicholas treat waiting for me this morning: four sparkling new gelato spoons from Jeni's, tied with a cute polka-dot ribbon.

I was also fortunate that the Kalamazoo St. Nicholas, being very on the ball, gave us very generous bags of goodies over the Thanksgiving holiday. We waited very patiently until tonight to open them, and now we have all kinds of festive holiday treats to enjoy.
