SWEETS-DAY

wednesday was sweetsday. in holland you have some kind of halloween; 'St. Maarten'. think you all know that story, there was a man called Maarten, and there was a beggar. it was verry cold an the beggar didn't had that much clothes on. he was sitting next to the town gateway. st maarten passed him on his horse. and saw the beggar. he took his cape of and shared it with the beggar. so on the 11th of november all the people 'share' sweets with the childeren. when i was younger i always went along the doors, with lights and stuff. this year there were six groups of childeren at our door. i think like 20 childeren. they were all singing songs and they were verry happy (: sooo that made me happy!
