St. Nicholas' Day

There were treats found in slippers or shoes that were discovered anywhere near the vicinity of the foot of the bed in each child's room.  Guess mine are too grown up to put their shoes by the door on the eve of St. Nicholas Day.  (I also wish they would put their shoes by the door every time they go in and out to keep the carpets cleaner, but I'm not wasting any more breath on that request.)  All three boys were delighted that the generous Saint had remembered them and they kissed their Mother.
