Happy St. Nicholas Day - Nikolaus

Since I am from Germany my family celebrates Nikolaus. The kids put their shoes outside the front door on the night of December 5th and if they were good Nikolaus fills them with sweets and candy. We always also leave a carrot for Nikolaus' donkey and he eats it every year! My kids love this tradition and not only were their shoes filled...

I filled their lunches with Nikolaus Cheer as well:

We packed our Easylunchboxes with:

• a candy cane striped apple
• pretzels with a yogurt covered pretzel and a mini chocolate Nikolaus
• a Nikolaus peanut butter and jelly home made Uncrustable

and we found a great matching Lunchbox Love Card to make this lunch fun and special!

 

 Happy Nikolaus day!

Holiday Ho Ho Hop

Today is a special morning in Germany. Nikolaustag!
Children put their shoes out by the door the night of December 5th in the hopes St. Nick will fill them with candy and chocolate coins. I love Nikolaustag and since I am German we celebrate it each year and of course my kids put out their shoes last night:

We also left out some carrots for the donkey that Nikolaus rides on and it seems my kids were good this year!

Bento Bloggers and Friends is having a Ho Ho Hop today and  I made a special Nikolaus Lunch in honor of Nikolaustag!

We packed our yubo with a ham and cucumber boot sandwich filled with some small chocolates, Christmas tree shaped pretzels, yogurt with dye free chocolate sprinkles to make a Christmas Tree and some penguin crackers with a Nikolaus decoration.

And now hop over to my friend Keeley to see what she packed for today's Ho Ho Hop!
