Nikolaus ist da!

This afternoon we went to Frome and met up with lots of bilingual (German and English) families as the children had a visit from Nikolaus. He brought them all a little present each and gave Oscar a lovely little book.

Traditionally all the children in Germany have to clean their boots on 5th December and leave them out at night... then during the night Nikolaus comes and leaves them sweets in their boots, which they enjoy on 6th! A great tradition and a lovely afternoon - and I guess Jackie and I will have to eat Oscar's chocolates for him! :)
