Nikolaus at Hannah's House

The weeks before Christmas are busy and another favorite tradition of mine is when Nikolaus comes to visit the kids. Here is a nice link with some information: http://germannn.tumblr.com/post/37337328679/nikolaustag

In Austria St.Nikolaus with Knecht Ruprecht (or Krampus how we call him) comes to visit the children on December 6th. And if they have been good, he leaves them presents. 

This year we had many visits from Nikolaus and the kids loved seeing him. 
First we saw him on December 5th at Hannah's house in Mellau. He came with a scary looking Knecht Ruprecht und Hannah was actually scared of them. Nikolaus said a few things about the kids behavior and Finn was brave and was holding his "Stab". He even sang a song to him together with me. Lilly eyed them both from far and was only holding out her hand to get the present.

Also fun was, that Barbara was with us that week and she got to see Nikolaus too!
