Jabberwocky Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 We put out stockings. Usually they are filled up with fruit, maybe a few candies, and a small gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balthazor Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I went to the old town square and saw all the angels and devils and Saint Nicholas. Some of the devils were pretty impressive, they threw fire balls and had real whips that they cracked and scared the heck out of everyone!!!

Piamaria Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I brought cookies and candy in to work for my colleagues. They are currently munching and looking at the St. Nicholas card I put by the food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetpea316 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 A friend left a bag of cookies and treats for my roomies and me. It was just hanging on our doorknob when we left for school today. So nice! I've never done anything for St. Nick's day, but maybe I'll have to start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercy me Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 [quote name='Era Might' post='1136029' date='Dec 5 2006, 11:21 PM'] Never heard of it. [/quote] Me neither. Isn't it cool all the different traditions within the church? I heard about it for the first time a few days ago. We did the shoe thng when I lived in New Orleans but not for St. Nick's day. I rather like it, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tindomiel Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 (edited) My siblings all put out their shoes by the woodstove and got gold Sacagawea dollars in them. Then we invited some Episcopalian friends for an enormous dinner: this consisted of three courses, not including appetizers (delicious pieces of toasted bread smothered in olive oil and topped with an "Olive Tapanade") and dessert. The first course was Avgolemeno Soup, which has a broth of lemon and egg, and is filled with chicken. We followed this up with a salad course, featuring a stunningly colorful Greek salad, along with a feta-and-olive salad, accompanied by bread with optional dipping oil. The highlights of the third course (entrees, of course!) were spanakopita and some wonderful baked chicken, steeped in olive oil and oregano. After a short recess for conversation and a for chance to fully imbibe this feast, we had tea with baklava and bishop's bread. Quite lovely.
