On Saturday, Tadhg, mom and dad decided to start hanging up their Christmas decorations. As they are usually in Canada for Christmas, they prefer a minimalist approach to decorating. Tadhg was amazed at the starlights dad hung over the windows and enjoyed helping make paper snowflakes (although Tadhg was more interested in playing with the scissors!).Christmas stockings for Tadhg, mom and dad were taken out from storage and hung from the bookcase. Mom and dad are thinking of celebrating Saint Nicholas day this year. This is on December 6th and is a big festival day in Czech Republic when kids get dressed up as Saint Nicholas, an angel (for the good kids) and a demon (for the bad kids). The angels hand out sweets and the demons hand out coal. It's a fun festival and is bigger than Christmas in some countries! This year mom and dad are thinking of putting small gifts in Tadhg's Christmas stocking for Saint Nicholas day. They are not sure of the tradition so will have to make it up as they go.
