French: Saint Nicolas est venu!

Le Jour de Saint Nicolas, or St. Nicholas Day, is a widely celebrated holiday in France. Children put out les sabots (shoes) and Saint Nicolas and his donkey come and fill them with goodies such as les clémentines (clementines), les pièces (coins), and les pains d'épices (gingerbread).

In Pre-First, the girls made their very own sabots and left them at Bryn Mawr overnight for Saint Nicolas to find. He did not disappoint and brought many exciting treats! Merci, Saint Nicolas!
