We call upon
Your mercy, O Lord
Through the intercession
of St. Nicholas,
keep us safe amid all dangers
so that we may go forward
without hindrance
on the road to salvation.
Amen

Today is our oldest daughter's saint feast day! We love St. Nicholas, so much so that several years ago I gathered a ton of resources from many different cyber-places and put together this wonderful study for our family.
This year our second grader is doing the study and it has been a lot of fun revisiting this wonderful saint! Here are a couple of our activities:
On St. Nicholas Eve we made cookies, then put up our stockings. We chose to use this day to put up all our stockings instead of putting out shoes. Next morning the children found gold coins, tangerines and a Christmas ornament in each of their stockings.
On St. Nicholas Day - we colored beautiful window mosaics and watched movies...
For lunch we had St. Nicholas pizza...
After reading many great books the kids narrated what they learned about this wonderful saint by putting on St. Nicholas puppet show....
We ended the day with our traditional St. Nicholas meal:
Stuffed Pork Shoulder
Mashed Potatoes
Broccoli Spears
Rolls
Black Forest Cake
St. Nicholas pray for us....
