I brought out another German Christmas tradition today and introduced it to my boys: the Advent Calender! I remember learning about these when I took German in Highschool so many years ago and was glad I could bring the fun to my boys this season. They used to be hard to find and at one time my hometown had a German store that my husband and I would go into to buy our calenders and many German goodies. We miss that store! Now you can find the calenders in places like Michaels and Target, and although they are not as fun or as decorative as making your own (note to self...make advent calenders next year :-) they will still be fun.I'm looking forward to sharing St. Nicholas day with them on Sunday. Remember to put your shoes outside your doors on Saturday evening and hope St. Nicholas brings goodies, not twigs or switches! (my boy's might be getting switches... :-)
