St. Nick's Day is a fun way for us to teach the kiddos the history behind Santa and gift giving! St. Nick would share the love of the Lord by leaving candy and money in kids shoes! He passed the tradition of giving on to another who passed it along to another and continues to pass the giving along...to santa! We give gifts as a way to show our love and therefore, Jesus' love for them to others.
One question the kiddos asked this year was "why does he do it at night" and we were able to respond with "st. nick isn't boastful and doesn't want the credit of giving but instead wants the attention pointed toward Jesus."
