Christmas Church

In Holland we first celebrate our own St Nicolaas* - a kind of skinny Santa Claus - on dec 5th and then quickly rearrange our homes for the Christmas feeling.

Christmas trees and decorations will therefore not be very common before dec 6th over here. Despite these national traditions the shopping streets are already starting to get ready for the Christmas look.

I kind of liked the street decoration in combination with the Christian Church.

* I found this (his)story on St Nicolas versus Santa which is fun to know.
