Have you been naughty or nice? Only St. Nicholas knows for sure. Little children get the chance to visit with him and sign in the “nice” book, when he comes for his annual stay at the Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum on Dec. 1.
Children listen to the traditional story of “The Baker’s Dozen,” hear songs sung by balladeer Linda Russell, and try their hand at making holiday crafts like pomander balls and natural bird feeders. Enjoy hot apple cider, holiday food, and traditional Dutch cookies, while decorating your own Dutch shoe or “klompen” to fill with treats, make a do-it-yourself snow globe, or tree ornament to take home. Finish up the day with a tree lighting ceremony at dusk.
St. Nicholas Day at the Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum on Dec. 1, from noon to 4 pm. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for children 10 years old and younger.
Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum [5816 Clarendon Rd. at Ralph Avenue in Flatbush, (718) 629–5400, www.wyckoffassociation.org].
