the blue blog archives: nikolaus winner!

The winner of a copy of my book and a hand knitted House Hat (from my Nikolaus giveaway this weekend) is.... Eileen! Eileen, send me an email (my email address is in the sidebar on the left) and let me know what style hat you'd like, what size, and what House colors you'd prefer. Also let me know if there are any allergy concerns or fiber preferences. Congratulations!

Thanks to everyone else for participating and sharing your holiday traditions in the comments! The boys shared their Nikolaus tradition by bringing in goodie bags to all their classmates today. We had so much fun packing them up this weekend with oranges, sweet treats and holiday pencils.

That was nice of the boys to want to do that for their classmates. Did they get to explain what Nikolaus was?

I love it when schools are happy to have students share their cultural practices. When we lived in the city (Chicago) years ago when my girls were young (they were 10 & 13 when we moved to the burbs), they went to a magnet school that was very ethnically diverse & they welcomed presentations by parents & children of their ethnic traditions. They even had an ethnic potluck once a year. Maybe part of the reason they were so open to diverse cultural traditions was that they were a language academy (my girls took German).
