Netherlands

December 9, 2013

Lianne, a mother in Holland with a 4 year old daughter and some animals sent this card.

She says the card is about Sinterklaas which is a festival for children with a lot of presents and candy.  It is celebrated on December 5th.

She wishes me a nice day and a happy postcrossing.

Greetings from Sint and Piet

I found out through some on-line reading that I did, that Piet (aka Black Pete) is quite a controversial character, but many Dutch people do not see him as a racist symbol.

Look at these very cool vintage stamps.  I like them a lot!
