The biggest challenge having the girls in school (and sports) is trying to squeeze in our family traditions that fall on week nights, like this one. We had to do our stocking on St. Nicholas Day in between school and the first basketball game of the season.

We don't do Santa gifts since we do St. Nicholas Day gifts and it keeps the focus on Christmas Day a little closer on Jesus' birth. However, we do recognize that the idea and legend of Santa came from St. Nicholas. In our neighborhood, we have a man that sets up an area to greet children as Santa each year. He's growing that beard year round. The girls scoffed at the idea, but all the boys were game for going to take a picture with him.
