Poem For 3rd Birthday Invitation



For me, festivities are some nice moments. Dinner with friends or family I cozy and nice. I take more and more fun with this exercise.
A difficult time is shopping. This year was quite important because you have a long weekend to bridge!
There is a new Albert Hein Overvecht, a very large according to the advertising. And I miss super large supermarket in the Netherlands. So we thought for Christmas we go to the super large Albert Hein.
We have found very special thing that the box office (I always find very annoying with the busy days) was not a requirement. Yes! But you had to pay with your card pin. At the entrance was a sweet young lady who offered a scanner. To use the pin card payment. . We love challenge and adventure.
The advantage is multiple: just take the product, you scan (great for kids), and you put it in your cart. You do not need cash. You pay with a payment device, and away ... The scan is very easy to use. I did have a problem with the bonus card but a young gentleman helped us. And done! State of the art! That was the first time that was so simple hetvoor Christmas shopping.

Pour moi les fetes sont plutôt agréables. The plus and you prend plaisir aux plus lung repas avec des amis ou la famille. Le moment toujours difficile pour les fetes sont les courses. C'était cette année encore plus grave car il y avait un très long weekend to survivre.

Il ya un nouveau Albert Hein to Overvecht. Il est super great. And I super large supermarkets I miss enormously. So we chose the weekend before Christmas to shop in this store. We were surprised to learn that the checkout was not mandatory. (I hate the case).

At the entrance there was a young lady who offered us to scan. That for us to avoid the checkout, he had to pay on a device. We love adventure so we try.

Operation is simple, you take the products, the scans (indicated any activity pour un garçon de 9 ans.) les ranger dans le Raychem. Plus de caisses et paie on a un appareil et fini. Le scan est facile d'utilization, j'ai eu des Problèmes avec la carte bonus Albert Hein. Mais un jeune homme m'a aider et fini. You n'ai jamais trouvé agréable aussi les courses.

Meningitis And Itchy Neck

NS: new rules / Nouveaux horaires chez railway (SNCF hollandaise)


Sunday everything goes better with the NS. The trains will run at another time and therefore are more trains on the rails. Tuesday (I do not work on Monday) is my train 10 minutes later. Why should I pay attention to his time at work. Have you noticed
that trains often between 5 and 10 minutes behind schedule. So would he be in time now?! I hope so .....

"According to Community law research, trains on time, but not on rails."

Dimanche chez NS change tout, c'est la SNCF aux Pays-Bas. Il y aura plus trains, please pour moi mais ils tous les horaires gent chan, you dois donc rester vigilante pour arriver à l'heure mardi (je ne travaille le lundi only). Remarques
avez-vous que les avaient souvent trains 5 to 10 minutes de retard. You pense que j'ai de la chance mon train est decaler in 10 minutes. You esperer peux donc à l'heure qu'il arrivera.
I'm curious ....

Does Tavist D Have Ephedrine

Santa Claus / St Nicholas

Here again two days and it's "pakjesavond" (evening of packets) or we receive the gift of St Nicolas with Piet (assistance). We eat speculators pepernoten, letters in chocolate, marzipan and many other things very good. I love this festival.
First it does not last one night but at least 2 weeks during which children receive small gifts, sweets, chocolates in shoes that are filled with pieces of carrots and sugar to Americo his horse.
addition we recognize the tradition so dear to the Dutch (that of birthdays). Because that for his birthday that St Nicolas comes every year to Spain to make us all his gifts. But you know that December 6 is the day of his death and not his birth. It's Dec. 6 after distributing all the gifts, he left Spain to update its general ledger (with children's names nice and less nice). A Wijk bij Duurstede can go see him leaving, it is less media attention than his arrival is being done on live TV. That's nearly Wednesday we will be ready to receive a visit from Father Christmas, which is still more and plus commercial même en Hollande.


Another 2 days and it's evening suit. The fun festival in the Netherlands. I'm so excited. In northern France we celebrate a little visit of the Saint, but that's less media coverage . When we are on the evening of December 5 a glass of wine and a carrot up the chimney, then you have a chance or piece of chocolate candy tekrijgen the next morning. But that only happens in northern and eastern France. In Paris they know this is not St.
What I like is the Christmas journal. I can not imagine that something could happen in France. A "journal du Pere Noël "the french e TV Pere Noel there is still no! But even here enjoy Packet evening and all the delicacy , then Santa Claus, also becoming increasingly popular in the Netherlands.
