December 6th is a holiday in France known as St. Nicolas Day. Children put out
les sabots (shoes) and St. Nicolas and his donkey come and fill them with goodies such as
les clémentines (clementines),
les pièces (coins), and
les pains d'épices (gingerbread).
Here, the girls are hard at work making their own sabots.
They left them by the window for St. Nicolas along with letters and a carrot for his donkey. I bet St. Nicolas will pay Bryn Mawr a visit this Saturday!
