Now that Sinterklaas is on his way home, we are going to buy a Christmas tree this weekend. It is very early, but then the tree can acclimatize in theshed and we are not stuck for choice and end up with a tree that is much too big and therefore it had a sawn-off top, as we had last year :))
The monsters are already in the mood! In our neighborhood lights are hanging in the windows everywhere, there are Christmas decorations in the front garden and even in the living rooms. And not since today but already before Sinterklaas arrived. That is not possible at our house, we are waiting for a week or two and besides, Advent is coming first!
