Two days ago I finally celebrated Sinterklaas with my friends. We went out to dinner in a nice Greek restaurant in my home city. A few weeks before we draw lots and I got my friend S. We had to buy for each other a gift and we also had to make a poem. S. made a list of things she liked to get and on that list she had written a cook book for pasta, earrings or a necklace. I wanted to give her something pretty, so this (see picture) is what I got for her. I personally really love it and wouldn't mind getting it ;-)! Unfortunately S. was sick, so I don't really know if she liked it too.. I got it from this webshop. I think that she makes the prettiest things..
First of all, I want to sincerely apologise for not posting for four days! Yesterday I went to a birthday party of my friend S. and some of my friends (I won't call names, F. & J. :-P) were not very happy about me not posting and they wondered where I've been this weekend that I didn't post. Sorry guys!
Saturday it was the 5th of December what meant that it was 'Sinterklaasavond'. I don't celebrate it with gifts with my family (We celebrate Christmas with gifts, but I will celebrate it with my lovely friends in one and a half week!), but my grandpa, aunt and uncle did come to our house and we ate together which was really nice. (I did get the British Vogue (december) of my aunt and a ticket whereby I need to open a new box each day and if I'm lucky I could win a lot of money, so fingers crossed!)
On Sunday I went with my mom to Amsterdam and there we saw the Dutch most famous designers Viktor and Rolf! They were signing a fairytail book they made. Really cool, but the book was too expensive for me so I only watched. But it was so cool! They were really kind and also quite normal. I always thought they were a bit strange, but now my opinion changed completely! I made a lot of photos, but I can't find my cord to get them on my computer. When I'll find it, I will show them to you!
For now a funny trailer of a documentary about the truth around Santa :-).
Last saturday Sinterklaas arrived in The Netherlands. If you're not from here or from Belgium you probably never heard of him. He's a Dutch tradition, kinda like Santa Claus. On the 5th of December it's his birthday and he 'celebrates' that by giving all the sweet children some gifts. Between this weekend and his birthday you can also place your shoe somewhere in the house and when you sing a song the next day there will be a little gift in it. Offcourse he's not real, but when you're little you do believe in it ;-). It's a sweet tradition, but I don't really celebrate it. I'm probably going to eat in a restaurant with some of my friends and then we'll maken a poem for each other with a little gift. It's not the real tradition, but it's still nice :-).
