I had a fleeting thought of what I could even put in their shoes and then I promptly forgot about them. Imagine my daughter's disappointment in the a.m. when she found empty shoes. I emphasized that he only comes that one time, Dec. 5th. And I'm with you, no idea if he's St. Nick or Santa or a preview or a helper or what the heck is going on.Melissahttp://familyworkcaffeine.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107659668348461670.post-6943326088241196112011-12-09T14:48:22.613-05:002011-12-09T14:48:22.613-05:00love it all! made me lol..and so happy to know if I am crazy..well I'm not alone.Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17445143780348379509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107659668348461670.post-64995064376664139502011-12-08T20:39:03.992-05:002011-12-08T20:39:03.992-05:00Jen, a helpful site for the st nicholas info is http://www.stnicholascenter.org/pages/who-is-st-nicholas/. Lots of great crafty ideas on that site, btw. We are not catholic (reformed, actually) yet we celebrate st nicholas eve on dec 5. It is great bc it puts most of the focus on jesus for christmas. On xmas eve, Santa simply fills stockings at our house. :)Gretchennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107659668348461670.post-53687593186822373382011-12-08T14:57:27.321-05:002011-12-08T14:57:27.321-05:00Alicia, I love your kid's list. Awesome! Last year we saw Santa at the zoo and the kids(9 & 6) asked him for (respectively) a fountain pen and a GPS. We got the weirdest looks from Santa & his helpers.jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00967156307632862683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107659668348461670.post-32534087618030406012011-12-08T10:02:46.207-05:002011-12-08T10:02:46.207-05:00I feel like I am on the verge of the PANIC, and I'm not sure what to do to stop it. Now, there is the fact that I am WAY overcommitted, despite my best efforts NOT to over extend myself in December. Turns out, I shouldn't have volunteered for anything in January, as all the prep for that happens...wait for it...in DECEMBER. It's like I can't read calendars. Today's project: finish the stupid Christmas cards (the ordering, that is...we haven't even come to the part where I have to find addresses and get them in a mailbox). I think I might just drink wine, and when everyone asks why my handwriting is so shaky, I'll say the kids did it.Sara D.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13412743896316112786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107659668348461670.post-17231720087288217052011-12-08T08:06:55.909-05:002011-12-08T08:06:55.909-05:00deep breathing.

(she wants exactly the same number of items as there are lines on front and back sides of a yellow legal pad, apparently.) included are things like "glass raccoon" and "carpet for the living room."Aliciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06560923893875596928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107659668348461670.post-13725774395594551052011-12-07T21:45:59.391-05:002011-12-07T21:45:59.391-05:00I can't count how many "simple" homemade ornament fails I have suffered.
