Saint Nicholas' Day

Home

In Germany, children still put a shoe outside their bedroom doors on the eve of Saint Nicholas Day,
and hope to find candy, coins and maybe a small gift in them on Dec. 6.

Tom, I usually start with whatever title an artist applies to their work, I particularly love your Title and Sub title, what a beautiful young lady Graces your home. We all take "photos" but we don't always capture the beauty you have in this contented young woman, in this "Madonna" like image. At first I thought she had a halo above her head... wonderful my friend
Fabienne07-Dec-2015 21:14

a wonderful portrait of this thoughtful girl. "V"
That's right Tom, St. Nicholas arrived on December 6. If you've been naughty you may find some small branches and coal in your boot.

Such a pretty little lady! Nice candid,Tom!
Neil Marcus07-Dec-2015 13:46

A beautiful portrait indeed, Tom and a lovely tradition.

Beautiful portrait and lovely tradition, leaving Christmas for the meaningful celebration. Our German friends here told us of this tradition. Their grand-daughter in Australia was leaving out two polished shoes! Simple too, not piles and piles of expensive stuff! V
