Czech Xmas Biscuits

[watervole]

Look what I got in the post yesterday from my friend Vjezkova!  Aren't they wonderful!



Vera shares my love of folk customs and season traditions.

These are gingerbread biscuits from the Czech Republic.  St Nicholas, Devil and Angel.

On December 5th, St Nicholas's day, people dress up in these costumes.  You can read more about it here.

I can remember putting out little red boots with hay in for St Nicholas' reindeer as he (and Black Peter) went over Germany and getting excited in the morning when dweets (rather than lups of coal) were left for me :-))

Made Christmas seem that little bit nearer
