In the Bendt house we celebrate St. Nicholas Eve as the start of the Christmas season. Every year I forget the date, I know it is the 5th but I can never remember if the eve is the 5th or the 4th. So every year I a have to do a google search to figure out which is the eve. This year was no different so yesterday I did my search and found that the eve is the 5th. So if you celebrate St. Nicholas day or you would like to start, have your kids leave their shoes by the door or fireplace on Saturday night. In the morning St. Nicholas will have brought them little presents to indicate whether or not they have been good this year. It is a great way for you to get your kids ready for the Christmas season and to remind them that Santa and the elves are always watching. You can find out more about St. Nicholas and his history here http://www.stnicholascenter.org/Brix?pageID=38
While I was searching I also came across a great site http://www.santaclaus.com/ This website has a ton of information related to Santa and will even let you track him on Christmas eve.
