My Little Dutch ABC Book
O
Oudejaarsavond ~ Old Year’s Evening
With the
approaching Holiday season upon us and our calendars about the turn to a page I
thought I’d share a story I wrote the first time I discovered the meaning of
the letter O word for the day. Here in The Netherlands, instead of celebrating
New Year’s Eve.. the Dutch celebrate Old Year’s Evening.
I wrote this
first one December 31, 2011
This story I
wrote January 1, 2015. As I reread this story about Oudejaarsavond celebrated
here in The Netherlands, I’m reminded of what some think of the insanity of
Americans and their love for guns. I guess having a love for fireworks is not
too far off. We all have our ways and a few adjustments to both, people might
be a tad safer.
This is how
my friends and I like to celebrate in America. We usually check into a hotel with
our best friends so that no one has to drive after drinking and then we have
dinner and dance the night away. So much fun!!
