St. Nikolaus is known as "the German Santa" in our house, and is definitely considered a bonus with the kids.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17509336575114671618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7465634697307291584.post-22540997163111263662008-11-26T12:24:00.000-05:002008-11-26T12:24:00.000-05:00Was a sweet post.

With a German mother and a very close connection to that side of my family, I too have a yearning to recreate here what is probably impossible or at least partially out of place. I am trying to share German traditions with my 2 young sons as well, but it's taking the time to be together that makes it really special and leads to the new "traditions". Of course we celebrate St. Nikolaus as well, which has generated much interest with my sons' preschool and 2nd grade class comrades!<BR/>I hope you enjoy your time in Maine.<BR/>Mit freundlichen Gruessen, <BR/><BR/>Adrian Kendall<BR/>Cumberland, MaineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
