I remember as a child "Mikulash" used to come all dressed up to my grandmother's house and deliver the most wonderful molasses cookie and it had a paper picture of Mikulash on the front. It was such a thrill when he arrived. Darn, I miss that Czech bakery! Merry Christmas and to your folks too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33542389.post-57628504154889933672007-12-10T23:47:00.000+02:002007-12-10T23:47:00.000+02:00I love to hear about dif.

Very neat!<BR/><BR/>It's funny that you are clear on the other side of the world and yet we are both going thru the sickies. We have had nothing but fevers, runny noses and coughing since before Thanksgiving.

I just put a small toy in Alex's Christmas stocking and have been reading to him about the real St. Nicholas (Bishop of Myra). We'll be doing some crafts latr too. Maybe I'll post.<BR/><BR/>Yes, the stocking will be filled again Christmas Eve.Just Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08633342136855001505noreply@blogger.com
