One of our advent activities was to have a St. Nicholas dinner (St. Nicholas Day is Dec. 6), so we invited Gramps, Grammie, and Ompak to join us.
We hung our stockings, read the story of the real St. Nicholas (a pretty amazing guy), and did a coloring page of him giving bread to poor children. We also decided it was a good excuse to have a big Turkish meal ... since St. Nicholas lived in Turkey ... and any excuse is good!
We also gave the kids some coins (quarters) to give to someone in need like St. Nicholas did. This year we put them in the Salvation Army Christmas Kettle.
Ompak took the coloring page very seriously ... his picture was quite impressive!
We had a great time!
