Christmas market

We had a Christmas market in Almere this weekend. It is something we didn't have for a long time in the Netherlands, Christmas was never a big issue here,  but times are changing and now we take part in the festivities of a market. These ladies were singing Christmas carols.



There was even a Father Christmas.

Suddenly we heard the whistle of a steamship sailing into the harbor. For a moment I thought "Sinterklaas" had come back to bring more presents, but it had nothing to do with the Christmas market. The ship just came along to anchor here.

  1. Those carolers look so pretty decked out in red and white. And I must get one of those Christmas tree hats. I think it would look stunning on me!
