Holidays Around the World - St. Nicholas Day!

Today we started out our morning by flying to the Netherlands. It was a very quick flight (we have a fast plane!). Once we got there and got our passports stamped by passport control, we took off one of our shoes, added some straw and carrots in it for St. Nicholas's horse to eat and put it by the door in hopes that St. Nicholas and his horse may come by. We learned that that if you are good, he would leave you treats. If you are not so good, he would leave you potatoes and onions! We thought we heard a horse in the school (weird, I know...) and when we went to look at our shoes, we all had treats in them! Yummy!
