December 6th is Saint Nicholas day in Prague and the tradition is that kids get dressed up as Saint Nicholas, angels and devils on December 5th and wander out into the night. Tadhg has experienced this holiday for the first time last year when he was a bit afraid of the devils.

On this Sunday, Tadhg, mom and dad joined the many other families in the Christmas markets at Namesti Miru. Most of the kids were dressed up and there was a real festive air around the square. As usual, Tadhg wanted to visit the witches where he noticed some flashing devil horns which he just had to have!

Everyone was getting a bit chilly so they decided to come home. Tadhg enjoyed checking out his new devil horns in the mirror! Unfortunately, they were not the sturdiest of accessories and the left horn was soon detached from the headband. Tadhg didn't mind too much though.
As per tradition, Tadhg hung out his stocking before going to bed hoping Mikulas (St. Nicholas) and his angel pass by during the night and leave some gifts.
