Holidays in Luxembourg

This holiday season is full of exciting discoveries for us.  December the 6th is the day when St. Nikolaus comes to visit kids.  For the first 5 days, before he comes with toys, St. Nik leaves the kids sweets in their slippers.  As we are learning about all these traditions, kids are having a blast with all these sweet surprises.

Another tradition is to bake a Boxenmachen (Man is the Pants). It is a sweet bread made in the shape of the man.  You can add chocolate chips, raisins, cover with glaze, powdered sugar or any other awesomeness.  I did not try to bake, but boxenmachen from the bakery were delicious.
