Christmas Shoes!

A print from the book Yule-Tide in Many Lands, 1916

I trust you remembered to put your shoes at the door last night? (December fifth marks the get-go of the celebration of St. Nicholas Day! His legendary tale has it that if slippers are left outside bedroom doors on the eve of 6 December, the Wonderworker will visit sleepyheads while they are being just that, filling their shoes with goodies!) Happy chocolate golden coins, pomegranates, ornaments and wrapped chocolate orange peels to all!
