St Nicolas and his black companion

Yesterday was St. Nicolaus day, very much celebrated in the Netherlands, even more than Christmas, but not so well known or celebrated in other countries, except the Germans.
So to make the Dutch guests happy there was St. Nicolas with his companion Farmhand Rupert or Servant Rupert and greeted the guests. Afterwards he went from table to table and asked if we had been good the whole year apparently we all were, because he was content with our behaviour. He asked me to get up and make this picture of us.
St Nicolaus and me
We play Scrabble
and our place on the beach
It is still very windy and we hide behind our windscreens. But it is warm and we can swim, only getting out of the water is a little cold !
Oh wow, even St Nicholas came? That must be some resort you're staying at. Although his outfit must be the worst I have ever seen!
ReplyDeleteThat certainly is an impressive resort with a visit from St Nicholas, hope it warms up a little.
ReplyDeleteHow nice the resort celebrated St Nicholas day for visitors!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could join you under that pretty parasol. It's very cold here!
You are certainly having an event filled holiday :)
