This feast day is an especially exciting one for children as they count down the days on their Advent calendars in anticipation of Christmas day. St. Nicholas of Myra is a major saint in many European and Eastern countries, and one of the old Christian traditions surrounding his feast day is for kids to leave their shoes out overnight in front of the fireplace, on the windowsill, or outside their bedroom door so that St. Nicholas can fill them with special fruits, candies, and other small gifts and treats.[/SIZE][/I] [B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=6][COLOR=rgb(255, 128, 0)]SU News[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B] [IMG]https://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/roanoke.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/b/05/b05cebf4-be42-57f2-8183-f143d3e3a51f/5a23903b1c531.image.jpg?resize=1200%2C900[/IMG] [URL="http://www.roanoke.com/hokies/sports/football/ranking-the-acc-s-bowl-games-on-watchability/article_4272e5dc-d9cf-11e7-bf5f-934bd1d7e608.html"]Ranking the ACC's bowl games on watchability[/URL] (Roanoke.com; Bitter) Now that the ACC's bowl lineup is set, there's nothing like a good ol' ranking of the games in terms of watchability to get you through the week.

Sugar: No. 1 Clemson vs. No. 4 Alabama[/B][/B][/SIZE] Info: Jan. 1, 8:45 p.m., ESPN, in New Orleans Line: Alabama by 1.5 Why you'll watch: I mean, c'mon. It's Clemson-Alabama III. The Tide got the best of the Tigers two years ago. Clemson returned the favor in last year's title game. It's somewhat refreshing to see that they'll be playing in the semifinals this year just to switch things up in the championship. But these have clearly been the best two programs in the country the last three years. Seeing them duke it out on the field once more is a whole lot more enticing than, say, if Ohio State had gotten into that No. 4 playoff spot, considering the Tigers wiped the floor with the Buckeyes 31-0 in last year's national semifinal. ...
