The Netherlands’ largest Christmas market – held each year in the southern city of Maastricht – is expecting a record number of visitors this year. Restaurants across the country have been getting more reservations than at this time in 2008, and garden centres – where those Christmas trees can be found – are doing a roaring trade. In other words: Christmas is coming to the Netherlands too!

















The Netherlands is truly a magical country to spend your Christmas Holidays in. I went to Amsterdam last winter and I loved the streets, the buildings, the Artificial Christmas Trees the holiday spirit. This video brought back those magical moments to me.
De laatste keer dat ik schaatste was in de winter van '52/'53. Het was op het Rietven ten zuiden van Stratum-Eindhoven. Ik heette toen Femke Kuiper. Ik woon sinds 1953 in Zuid Australia maar ergens ben ik nog steeds Nederlands. Is er iemand, die zich mij nog herinnerd?
Susan/Femke.

I did it myself when I was a child in the Netherlands....70 years ago!!!!
