Fun! Okay, giving it a go. . .
1. I'm going to say Turkey. I think he was Greek, so that closest to modern day Turkey.
We celebrate St. Nicholas' Day (December 6th) by hanging stockings on the night of the 5th and putting our wish list letters inside. St. Nick takes the letters and leaves some goodies in the stockings. Lauren actually understood what was going on this year, and she has been carrying the little kitty that was peeking out of the top of her stocking around with her ever since Saturday.
2. Boris Karloff.
3. Macy's?
4. Pigpen.
5. Ummm. Professor Finkle?
6. Eight? (Now I'm humming.)
7. Australia.
8. 1935?
9. Boston?
10. A dentist!
Ok does anyone like egg nog? I actually like the flavor and can have a few sips but the consistency kind of does me in with anymore. I love egg nog ice cream too.
