Sound nice Ninieu

Your sister really ought to have a little more respect for your dad, he won't always be around and she should be treasuring these moments. If she didn't have it this way, she would know what I am talking about.

Yes that's propably true, but hey were from Holland so respect does not comes with the genes only the free liberal spirit !

But I really know we all treasure this moments really much.

Other part of the tradition with Christmas in Holland is to spend time in the traffic jams on the second Christmas day for the furniture shops and to visit relatives, or walking in the nature and recr. area again traffic jems of people walking !

And you know you would be right, it's hard for me to put that in perspective when I view things so differently than in your country ...

What's with the deal with the furniture shops? Is this the best time to buy furniture, after Christmas?

Traffic oh yes a much bigger burden for you than I here.

Well there always the sales starting on the sec. Christmas day. But most people only go there because it are the only shops open ! It's a bit of sad that they only have funshopping left !

Re: Merry Christmas Tradition in your country

Awe yes, the shopping after christmas is crazy here too, I used to wrap myself up in that, but not anymore, things are only a bargain if you need them right?

I have a passion for "cuckoo clocks" I'll bet those are so familiar to you that you don't even give them a second glance.

My friend lived in Germany and she told me, that on garbage day you could if you wanted to go around the neighborhood and choose as many as you liked from the street trash .... I think I'd get them all, lol ....
