I have our daughter put her shoes outside her door which I fill with candy after we have read a book that evening abt St. Nicholas and whom he was. That weekend, we do a service project in the spirit of St. Nicholas with the same shoes she put outside her door. She knows that it is me who fills the shoes and that we are doing something nice for someone else because it is more important to give than to receive.new52for33https://www.blogger.com/profile/09074410536447057265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347046595303702807.post-86839875201954138022013-11-20T21:58:37.426-06:002013-11-20T21:58:37.426-06:00Heading out to the tree farm!
