Miklavž!

December 9, 2009

On Sunday was St. Nikolaus Day for some country’s. Slovenia’s version is Miklavz.  I’m not sure the full story I just know it involves demons messing with you if your bad and angels blessing you if your good.  I think the kiddos put their shoes out the night before for them to be filled with goodies…Anyway, on Saturday in the center of Ljubljana there was a big children’s program that started with a parade of little devil people, including one huge man that breathed fire out of his mouth (sort of), angels and Miklavz! There were tons of people everywhere and it was really fun to be a part of a holiday.  Landon loved being on Brad’s shoulders and seeing everything and listening to the children’s program. Downtown was lit up with a huge tree, tons of lights and there was a Christmas Market set up.  It was really cool to do something festive for the holidays as a family.
