December 6th Happy Nikolaus Day

On December the sixth, we were waiting for snow As I drove to the house of little Heath and Bo. I was chilled to the bone as I got in my car, Thankful I didn’t have to drive very far. As I drove through the town, I looked at the lights The Snowmen the Santa’s such beautiful sights. I passed by a church with a manger so dear, Remembering Christmas is drawing very near. The peace of the season began to warm my soul And soon I stopped thinking I was at the North Pole. With presents in my one hand and chocolate in the other, I arrived at the home of the sister and brother. Their eyes were just sparkling with smiles all aglow, It was Nikolaus day for good children you know. We opened the presents, sang songs and we read. Then partied till the children were tucked in their bed. Written by Brenda Meier-Hans 12.06.2013

Yes, it's a little foretaste of what's to come.

How lovely and sweet, Brenda! I too have been a couple of times to Germany, but only for short visits, and in summer when the weather was nice and warm. (Took my granddaughter to Europa Park...had a great time!) // paul

Hi Brenda, such a sweet poem about Nikolaus Day you composed for your nephews. Germany is wonderful...we were there Thanksgiving 2003 when our son was in the Army there, just before he left for Iraq. Would love to go back some day. Hugs, Sandra

Love this one my friend. The children must love Nikolaus Day! I remember as a child wanting snow every Christmas. When we got snow the snowball fights were glorious! I had ten siblings as targets. lol Your poem glows and truly represents the holiday , the joy of family and giving.. 7 all the way..
