In honor of St. Nicholas Day, here is a card using a beautiful image, that Jacqueline sent me, of Father Christmas. We lived in Luxembourg in 1979, and I remember their St. Nicholas Day celebration. He had a sidekick, Black Peter, who carries sticks for the naughty children.
Happy St Nicholas Day Lin! We used to celebrate it while I was growing up. I would put my boots in the window and I would get fruit, nuts, chocolate and a small gift. The bad kids (not me!) would get a branch or stick in it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this fun tradition! Love your card! It is so festive!
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous image! Love how you stamped him in red on cream and kraft. Happy St. Nicholas Day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely image Lin, how wonderful of Jacqueline to share it with you, thank you for the story about St. Nicholas as well!
ReplyDeleteWow! Love the old Saint Nick! You make this card so fabulously! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful image Lin, So nice of Jacqueline to sent it to you! Love the red on cream color combo! Happy St. Nicholas Day!
ReplyDeleteLove your St. Nicholas card! In Germany we celebrate this, too! On the evening before "Nikolaus" we put our boots outside the doors and "Nikolaus" puts something into them.

ReplyDeleteAdorable! My daughter just asked me about it yesterday. She was disappointed because we didn't put out the boots!
