Dandelion prints because they are so abundant in our garden.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<i>"One day long ago in Winter there was a town and the children there had </i><br />
<i>nothing to eat. They were very hungry and very poor.</i><br />
<i>A bird came and saw what was happening and flew many miles to tell Bishop Nicholas who</i><br />
<i>was a very kind and very good man. He told all the people around them to gather apples, nuts and biscuits</i><br />
<i>and load them onto the boat. The boat sailed for seven days and seven nights following the bird</i><br />
<i>to the hungry children.</i><br />
<i>One night the children had placed their socks at the ends of their beds.</i><br />
<i>St Nicholas came and not wanting to wake the children quietly filled their socks</i><br />
<i>with apples, nuts and biscuits.</i><br />
<i>When the children awoke they were so happy to see these gifts and they </i><br />
<i>were not hungry anymore as the good people had shared what they had."</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
There are many variations upon this story, and more traditional one involving 3 sisters for older children is commonplace.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The children should clean their boots/shoes and leave them on the windowsill</div><div style="text-align: center;">overnight. (This is where some people think the stocking idea has come from)</div><div style="text-align: center;">nuts, chocolate coins, biscuits, some nuts and a small gift</div><div style="text-align: center;">are left for them to find as a surprise in the morning.<br />
<br />
Enjoy<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Instead of beating myself up about it : we celebrated on a different day.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Luckily my two seeds have no concept of time.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Better to encourage some awe and wonder </div><div style="text-align: center;">than nothing at all.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Special occasions remind us of the need for these rituals, to do something out of the ordinary,</div><div style="text-align: center;">to make us focus on nature, simplicity, important moments;</div><div style="text-align: center;">but they need not be confined to certain dates of the year.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I saved a few Autumn treasures; leaves, old flower heads, acorns, etc and scattered </div><div style="text-align: center;">them on the silk floor.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>" Two Autumn gnomes said that they felt very cold with the</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>frosts coming so they wanted to build a fire.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>They gathered some twigs and put some leaves in a pile for the fire.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>It took them so long to make it that they were tired and had to go to bed.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Along came a hedgehog and thought that pile of leaves would make a lovely </i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>place to hibernate so he snuggled up under the pile and went to sleep.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>The next evening the gnomes were ready to light the fire and invited King Autumn</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>along to celebrate. He asked the 2 little gnomes if they had checked under the fire first.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>They said they had not and when they checked there they found a hedgehog!</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>He wandered off to find a safer place to sleep.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>They all helped to add a few things to the fire but it wouldn't light.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>So King Autumn summoned the dragon to fly down and breathe on the fire.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Out of his mouth came hot flames ( orange fairy wool) and the fire started to burn.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX2iveAQ-i9j6VNhiMh1O_z54kohxJErznKv2OsKnuUmjaZCVaR49NAwZr1B9UX68IFAk0RZTaUOVa1uJm7zPv20NMoYlYpwm_ZmFsm0hPdqwDEHfGrg7WS6X8p2gutwWWAjuj6jRHJx8F/s1600/firestory.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX2iveAQ-i9j6VNhiMh1O_z54kohxJErznKv2OsKnuUmjaZCVaR49NAwZr1B9UX68IFAk0RZTaUOVa1uJm7zPv20NMoYlYpwm_ZmFsm0hPdqwDEHfGrg7WS6X8p2gutwWWAjuj6jRHJx8F/s1600/firestory.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>They all stood around the fire and threw seed pods and acorns and conkers into the fire.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Each one made a spark and an exciting noise. They were splattering like mini</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>fireworks.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>They all stood around the fire and thought about how tired they were</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>beginning to feel because soon it would be time for them to sleep too."</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My Two Seeds were so enthralled by a fire story that Big Seed wanted to re-enact it</div><div style="text-align: center;">straight away. Then Little Seed had his first go at storytelling.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It was so sweet!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
