delicious chocolates for st. nicholas day . . 

greg and i took a walk in the late afternoon to a coffee shop we had never been to before . . 

nutcrackers along the way at the local dry cleaner and tailor shop . . 

we shared a pot of creamy hot and sweet cardamom coffee. i didn't think we would drink it all . . but we did . . and i worked on my knitting (a joji locatelli pattern from her mystery shawl knit-a-long).

we stopped on the way home for kitty litter and cat food . .

and to admire st. anthony's creche . . i sent photos to my sister who had attended a special creche festival at her church where she had included a pretty white one of our grandmother's (mom's mom):

at home we had dinner with chanda and lit our wood advent wreath for the second sunday of advent . .

and played a round of bananagrams . . happy st. nicholas day, and happy advent.
