I'm sure my uncle wouldn't have been happy with the result. <br /><br />Wishing you a Merry Christmas as well, Mike. Looking forward to your blog posts in the New Year.

You made me look up Sinterklaas on Wikipedia and I learned the real purpose of those chocolate gold coins. <br /><br />I also ran your uncles poem trough Google Translate, but I don't think it really did the rhymes justice, but it was fun to listen the Dutch while reading the fractured English.<br /><br />My best wishes to you for Christmas and the New Year, Peter.Mike Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065245846262417519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154371958497635946.post-43227456440870815212013-12-06T15:52:05.243+01:002013-12-06T15:52:05.243+01:00@Wendy

Now, if I had a choice...<br />Did you already order your Sepia Saturday book? I did and I am checking the mail every day :)<br />And a Merry Christmas to you and yours too!Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08512412669995490110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154371958497635946.post-40107778404027348712013-12-06T12:28:34.604+01:002013-12-06T12:28:34.604+01:00What a handsome Sinterklaas on a big white horse. ...What a handsome Sinterklaas on a big white horse.
