Mos Nicolae

December 6th is Mos Nicolae or Saint Nicholas day. I didn't really know this nor do I keep up with saints' days because they are just way too many of them but Nicholas is special and very important to candy lovers. On the night of December 5th, children all over Romania and other countries put out their shoes. In the morning "Saint Nicholas" has filled them with candy. This is sort of a pre-Christmas holiday.
To celebrate this Christmas tradition, volunteers from the Romanian company InMedio came to visit. They held a Christmas program for the 1st and 2nd graders during which they made ornaments for their classroom trees, cards for their parents, and sang carols.
