We used to put out our stockings and in the morning there'd be apples and oranges, candy and sometimes a small toy like a harmonica or hair clips for us girls. My parents always put up our Christmas tree on this date. I also did until we got our first artificial tree. Then we started putting it up the day after Thanksgiving, but we still celebrated St. Nicholas Day until my children got a little older and the apples and oranges didn't excite them anymore. Thanks for sharing the history and I love the recipe.Roseanne Dowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15473329969019245459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975156172068685702.post-69032796790689191152011-12-06T03:17:31.869-06:002011-12-06T03:17:31.869-06:00Nice recipe Anna.

My two daughters were born in Holland and we have a photo of our oldest one beside Sinter Klaas on 6th Dec when he came to visit the children of the cul de sac where my friend lived. (I think he was one of the grandfather's) All the older children went from house to house trailing after him and watched as younger toddlers got their gifts. (The older kids got their own gift at their own house.) How typical that was I'm not sure but it worked in the 'pedestrianised' community where the walking pathways were free of cars or had 'drempels'/ speed bumps to slow down accesing traffic. It was quite different for me as a Scot, to hear that he had sailed up to Holland from Spain!Nancy Jardine Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12366248895961876075noreply@blogger.com
