Saint Nicholas Day, Christingle and Craft

December 6th was Saint Nicholas Day. We read the story of Saint Nicholas in our Festivals, Family and Food book, and Hannah painted a picture of the children finding gifts of food outside their door from Saint Nicholas.

Yesterday we went to the Christingle service at our church. As part of the service, there was a talk about the childrens society and helping those in need. Hannah and I brought home a collection box which we are going to try to fill with all our spare change to help provide hot meals and clothes for children who need them.

And today we made salt dough. Hannah has made some decorations for our tree and some as gifts.

They are going to look lovely once they are painted.
