As a military family, we spent time in Germany many years ago — our children were young — about 3 and 7.. We adopted several of the German Christmas traditions from way back then. Our children, now adults with families of their own, have passed down these traditions to their young children. Our favorite is St. Nicholaus Day — you put your boots (shoes) by the front door or chimney on December 5th. If you have been a good boy/girl, Santa will leave you a small gift for you to find the next morning. It’s fun to watch the smiles as they creep out of their rooms to see if they are on Santa’s “good” list.
