St. Martin's Day


Yesterday, November 11, was St. Martin's Day. Dutch kids make paper lanterns and go around to different houses to sing a song about St. Martin in exchange for a treat. Last night John and I went to his sisters house in Assen so I could see it for myself. It seemed every group of kids each had a different song about St. Martin. It was a little bit like Halloween, with out the costumes. Here's a picture of some kids who came to the door.
