But now we finally had a fun night. The 5th of December is tradisional gifts day in the Netherlands instead of Christmas, often, not always. It's celebrated by celebrating the coming of St Nicholas from Spain. A man that remarkably resembles Santa Claus, but of cause it not the same.
We enjoyed celebrating this festival on the 10th of December with the other volunteers at Goeie Hoop. Here are some pictures:
Every gift is disguised in a 'package' that says something about the person or the gift. It is amazing how much effort people put in, and the creativity!
This little man was given to one of the girls that takes care of the babies, isn't that cute?
I actually never found out what the elephant meant;)
A bottle of tablets on my lap, what does that tell you?
It does say that it is for relaxing on the side.
And a face that could wink and stick out it's tongue.
Beforehand I thought I did well this year, but I'll have to try again next year.
We had lots of fun!
