Today, we will be talking about holidays, or 'feestdagen' as we call them in Dutch. The beginning of October hardly seems the appropriate time to talk about public holidays as in Belgium and in Holland we have to wait a while before we have our next holiday. So why do I want to talk about it then? Well, the idea came from a member on our forum, who sent me a Dutch Christmas song that she recorded herself! Now, this is the kind of spirit -and courage- that I can only admire so we decided to add it to today's show. I do realize we are only in October so to make the song fit in the rest of this episode, I am going to tell you something about the Dutch public holidays. We will conclude this show with the Dutch version of Jingle Bells by our very own forum member EetSmakelijk. [voices: Bieneke, EetSmakelijk, duration: 9 min 12 sec]
