How nice to see that the eve of his feast day on dec 5th is celebrated esp in your country NL by all young to old, christian and non-christian, w/out any religious matter. Hope you had a joyful Sinterklaas, love:)<BR/><BR/>@ Gil: Merci for your comment:) Your Turkish spelling seems enough good, Noel Baba;) BTW, who's your Turkish teacher, LOL:)) W/regards the X-mas city lights, your Lisbon City Hall just doing well! As for the planet, energy saving and reduce electricity are essential for a more green world you know, and I'm very much appreciative about your Hall procedure! Yeap, Turkey's rendez-vous vs Portugal for Euro2008 next summer, and I'm definitely keeping my fingers and toes crossed for the match;) Can you make any guess for the result -it's too early but? Lets hope for an enjoyable match, Woooohoooo!!!Nihalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05921200854794301981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467208927530359310.post-49863122536397000652007-12-07T01:33:00.000+02:002007-12-07T01:33:00.000+02:00Another great post Nihal.

Unfortunately, it seems that the Lisbon city hall is somehow in financial trouble, so they're cutting a bit on X-mas lights.<BR/>Anyhow, it looks nicer than in November...<BR/>Have a great time! Oh, and Turkey will meet Portugal at the Euro 2008...GMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775262251208390861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467208927530359310.post-10246641754296202242007-12-06T11:57:00.000+02:002007-12-06T11:57:00.000+02:00For us, in The Netherlands, there is a difference ...For us, in The Netherlands, there is a difference between Saint Nicolas or Sint Nicolaas or Sinterklaas and father Chistmas. <BR/>We celebrate the feast of Sinterklaas on the fifth of December. After that we can make preparations for Christmas. <BR/>Yesterday evening the larger stores had to change everything from SInt Nicolaas into Christmas.Annelieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14951159265489648568noreply@blogger.com
