We have a wonderful tradition that benefits us in many ways. It is the observation of "St. Nicholas Day." Dec. 6, the Catholic church celebrates this endearing, holy man and our family does as well. Stockings are filled and a present or two from "Santa" await the kids on the morning of Dec. 6. It has been wonderful for many reasons but the best has been that it really frees our family to concentrate on Jesus' birthday on the 25th and exchanging just a few gifts among ourselves in honor of his birth (while eating birthday cake, of course! We happily celebrated while Jody was still here to get his present too!
