St. Nick's?

Tonight I'll be sneaky and put little stocking stuffers into all our stockings to celebrate St. Nick's Eve. My hubby's never heard of it but I grew up always excited about waking up to goodies in my stocking on the morning of December 6th. Since I'm from Milwaukee, I'm assuming this holiday tradition has German roots.

How many of you celebrate St. Nick's Eve?

It must be a Milwaukee tradition! Monica does it and all of my family does too. Yeah it was a mad dash to the store last night while Sierra was in program practice. She must have noticed the wrapping paper from our stash. She asked if I helped St. Nick wrap her presents - oops :)! Keep the good 'ol MKE traditions alive my friend!

I have TOTALLY heard of it! I thought it was more of a Catholic thing, but I'm sure German/Catholic probably go together on a lot of things. I'm lucky enough to get presents all figured out and such before Christmas!!!
