Today was Nikolaustag (St. Nick's day) here in Germany. German children place a boot on their doorstep before going to bed on December 5th. As soon as the clock strikes midnight on December 6th St. Nikolaus begins visiting the homes of little boys and girls and filling their boots with goodies if they have been good, or with birch switches if they have been bad. Colin found his boot full of chocolate coins, a tangerine and some gummi bears. He was quite excited this morning.
I tried telling him he didn't need shoes on, but he insisted on carrying them to the door.
Still concerned about putting his own shoes on, but the treats in the boot are starting to tempt him.
Notice we only got one shoe on before digging into the treats!
"oooooh chocolate!"
Hmmm, what else is in here?
"Mmmmm orangen!"
