St. Nicholas Day in the Morning… Last year!

by | Dec 7, 2025 | Advent and Christmas, St. Nicholas | 0 comments

As I was working on uploading pictures from this year’s feast of St. Nicholas, I realized I never finished posting last year’s pictures from St Nicholas Day in the Morning…. adding them now to this digital family scrapbook of ours. ❤️

You can find links to all the books they received this year (2024) here. They also all received new slippers, a new puzzle, and some other little surprises. You can also find our free printable letter to Baby Jesus here.

Welcome, friend! St. Nicholas, welcome!
     Bring no rod for us to-night!
While our voices bid thee welcome,
     Every heart with joy is light.

Tell us every fault and failing;
We will bear thy keenest railing
So we sing, so we sing:
Thou shalt tell us everything!

Welcome, friend! St. Nicholas, welcome!
     Welcome to this merry band!
Happy children greet thee, welcome!
     Thou art gladdening all the land.

We used to make Cherry Cheese Candy Cane Coffee Cakes for St. Nicholas Day – now those are saved for when more of the kids are home for Christmas and have been replaced with Christmas themed Krispy Kreme Donuts! Easy for me and fun for them!

Fill each empty hand and basket;
‘Tis thy little ones who ask it.
So we sing, so we sing:
Thou wilt bring us everything!”

A Song for St. Nicholas by Mary Mapes Dodge from “The Festival of St. Nicholas,” Hans Brinker or the Silver Skates

St. Nicholas, ora pro nobis!

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
