Santa’s coming on the 5th of December …
Hello friends, and let me apologize for not being active on the Totally-Useless lately. Since I have been mostly useless during the past week and this could only be blamed on the health issues that I am having. Even the few lines here at the moment are too much for me really.
Santa, or Sint Klaas in Dutch is coming here (in The Netherlands) on the 5th of December each year. And there are celebrations everywhere in the country, in each city, or town, and village, and all children are waiting for him with impatience to get their presents. At school and at home.
He is coming from Spain together with the Black Piet’s. (Note, his coming here on the 5th of December each year has nothing to do with the Christmas celebration, as this “Sint Klaas coming” is especially geared towards children. Most probably the coming of Sint Klaus will become an official Dutch holiday soon.)
These are by my partner taken shots – while they were waiting for Santa to come for the celebration of Sint Klaas at the school where he is working. And because I found the photos not so beautiful with the rain on the street, I reworked these and made them look like a card – painting. I hope you like them
Than I am having a bit of a problem here my friends. Peter tagged me and someone else tagged me too, in the past week, unfortunately I am unable to find my note in regards and am at a loss, and not knowing where is the memo or by whom was I tagged. Please, come forward and tell me about it, and I am so sorry for not being able to remember where I left my note about it. Feel so deeply ashamed and totally useless, you have no idea my friends.
Thank you for being patient with me and wishing you a splendid week ahead

They are beautiful, card-like images. I’ve only been in Norway up in the north countries, but the Netherlands is high on my list of places to visit.
