Already since last year we were planning to spend Christmas together with my parents in a very nice hotel. We were thinking that in a year we would not suffer any more from any Covid-19 measures. How wrong could we be! There is a lockdown in the Netherlands, but not as strict as a year…

Heretic Christmas
Although “tradition” seems to proclaim that you should not decorate your house for Christmas while “Sinterklaas” (which is celebrated in The Netherlands among other countries) is still in the country, we will start with the Christmas decoration this weekend. I know that I have talked before about Christmas and its origin, but it is something…
And then it was Christmas again…
And suddenly it is Christmas again… I like the atmosphere of Christmas, but apart from that it has no real special meaning to me. Sure, I am happy that they days are getting longer again, but not more than that. It is more an enjoyable day to spend with someone close to you. Marion is…
And as the weekend passes by…
Finally a normal enjoyable weekend without unexpected unwelcome things happening. Not feeling ill (just my throat still hurts a little). Slowly everything starts to get back to normal. There is new LED projector clock. My BluRay player is back and is working as normal again. Only thing to be done is repairing of the kitchen…
Christmas, some thoughts about it…
Today I saw a discussion about Christmas on Facebook. It was about “Keep Christ in Christmas”. Rather some reactions were claiming that Christmas should not be a commercial celebration.

A very enjoyable evening… a nice movie and a good conversation (and a song to that :P)
Yesterday Marion and I had a very nice and enjoyable evening. We had planned to go out for dinner, but our moods were in the evening not really after it. So we stayed home and ordered some food online. We both had a mixed grill and I really must say that we really liked it….
Merry Christmas to all of you…
I hope that everyone’s Christmas started so wonderful as mine did. Yesterday during the day I have been working as normal and already some days before that I had to promise that I would not leave for home before 4:00 pm. Somewhere during the day Marion would come to Heemskerk and of course it was…
Christmas tree…
During the breakfast-up-bed that Marion and I had this morning (and I was the lucky one who could stay in bed all the time) we suddenly realized that this weekend was the last opportunity to put up the Christmas tree in my apartment together. And because it is the first time for me to have…
Christmas day
This is one of those moments of rest during a busy day of Christmas day. Marion is taking a nap. The time difference is still hard on her. Sanne is laying lazy on the couch watching a bit tv. And I? I checked my mail and read some forums. And wrote this message about today….
