Christmas is really getting closer each day.
You simply cannot deny it...as if I ever could....I love this time of the year.
Besides warehouses and garden centers, you can visit various Christmas markets
and other events.
And one of the most beautiful events to visit is our local historical spectacle.
Last weekend our village went back in time to the year 1830.
This is always a great event and has also become well known in the Netherlands.
Visitors come from everywhere to " PAINT THE PAST ".

As usual the amount of impressions was just too much, but here are a few:
Sing a welcome song......
The Major......................and...........................the Piper

| Local children gave their " Acte de Présence " |

| An awesome abacus...I wish I was mine.... |

| LOOK OUT: Chickens on transport!!! |
 |
| Awww.... two poor girls dressend in old rags, bagging for food and money... I'll bet they love eatin' "our" crispy french fries :o) |
It was just one day, but one day to remember.
Have fun to prepare yourselves for the most beautiful time of the year.
I know I will.
