October 15, 2011: All my life I've wakened every morning excited about what I'll experience & learn that day. I usually start the day by looking up a new-to-me fact, but definitely when I need a mental break from paperwork or practicing I briefly go looking for something new to learn. My blog is about anything I learn on any subject. I hope you will enjoy exploring this path with me.

Saint Nicholas Day

Today, December 6, is Saint Nicholas Day in Eastern Europe. In the morning of this day East European children receive gifts. Last night, December 5, they dressed in angel and devil costumes and went caroling. Most families have the traditional Tannenbaum, or German-style Christmas Tree, and light one of the four candles in the advent wreath each Sunday in December.

If you celebrated Saint Nicholas Day, what did you receive and give today?
