Someone here celebrates St. Nicholas Day. This day always makes me think of my aunt, who is the one who first told me about this day when I was young.
Anyway, for those unfamiliar with it, it is a day celebrated in various parts of Europe, in particular, but is considered an international celebration. In Germany, where my aunt and uncle and cousins lived for a few years, the tradition is that children leave their shoes by the door and they will awaken to find their shoes filled with candy if they were good.
Apparently, I was good this year :)
My shoes, and those of other students living here, are candy-filled this morning. It is a delightful surprise!
