Christmas is in the air / 聖誕味

 Christmas is in the air!!!
even though it's only the end of October!
[btw, the WINTER time is coming back next Sunday, 
so don't forget to adjust your clock one hour later]

聖誕節已經在空氣中[好愚蠢的直翻....]
 壓呼!荷蘭這邊已經很有聖誕味了


  The following/and above image are mostly taken in IKEA Delft, 
all the products and decoration belongs to IKEA, thank you :)
絕大部分的照片都是在DELFT的IKEA拍的
產品阿布置阿 等等的 都是IKEA的!!謝謝他們[鼓掌]

 聖誕特別版的布!!!
聖誕老人的已經被賣光了
 In the Netherlands, Dutch people celebrate Christmas even earlier, 
they celebrate it on the 6th of December."St.Nicholas day".
Sinterklass!!![Santa Claus in Dutch]
 I google some story about the origin of Sinterklass, 
information are originated from this web-page: 

"In the Netherlands, legend has it that Sinterklaas (Dutch name for St. Nicholas) 
arrives in the Netherlands by way of steamboat from Spain 2 weeks before his traditional birthday, 
December 6th, along with his helper, Zwarte Piet (Black Pete), 
who will help disperse the gifts and candy to all the good children. 
Sinterklaas, along with the zwarte piets, 
will go abroad at night and stride about the countryside wearing his red mantle, his mitre, 
and his golden crosier and sporting a long, white beard. 
Referring to his book that lists all the good and bad children, 
Sinterklaas will deliver presents to all the good children, 
but watch out if you've been bad! 
The bad children may be taken back to Spain with him. 
The Low Countries(Belgium & Luxemburg)have basically the same traditions surrounding St. Nicholas, 
but not to the extent of the Netherlands. 
Children in Luxemburg call him Kleeschen, 
and his helper is Hoseker (Black Peter). 
Belgian children know him as Sint Niklaas."

噢!!為什麼聖誕節布置那麼早就出來了呢?!
[可能絕大多數的歐洲國家都已經出來了 
看到網路上有人分享英國街上已經掛上聖誕裝飾燈]
在荷蘭 他們12/6就已經慶祝聖誕節 
對他們而言 12/6這天比12/25這天來的更重要 更盛大
當天鎮上都有會有遊行 有聖誕老公公 臉上塗得黑黑的小幫手black Pete
分送禮物還有糖果給這一年來有乖乖表現的小朋友們
然後聖誕老人就會回西班牙!
看到聖誕襪好開心阿! 小孩子們對聖誕襪的那種期待
是很珍貴的呢!

it's cold!


 It was way too cold even though it is just the end of October, 
thus, I bought a pair of "half" gloves from H&M so that i can still work with my hands.
I'm getting to ACCEPT this kind of color which is a bit more girly,  
'cuz usually i only buy things/clothing in from Black-Grey-White and the gradient in between, 
and also dark blue,have never really like this kind of colors before.
BUT i'm getting to buy more stuff in these kind of color and in polka dot
(which was totally a discard for me before)
因為天氣太冷了雖然現在只是十月底
為了要繼續用雙手做事
我就去H&M買了一雙便宜的"半"手套 所以還是可以打字
最近越來越能夠接受這種比較女生的顏色
從前我可是只買黑色白色灰色深藍色這種中性偏男生的顏色
圖案大概就是素色跟條紋 最近也開始比較接受點點
gosh!對我而言還真是滿不可思議的


in the end, this one,
well, not so sure if it is the sign for"under construction" which are used on the road,
OR they are xmas tree instead!
well, i still think they are xmas tree no matter what their real usage is:)

最後
這是鹿特丹的一個大廣場
雖然這應該是施工中的那種東西的放大版(?!)
但我還是開心的把它歸類成聖誕樹了XDD

聖誕節的味道會越來越濃!
