3 Nostalgia

Melbourne, Australia

For the elderly Dutch cosiness and nostalgic is very important.
That means heavy and dark furniture, and of course Sint and Pete as decoration in early December.
After 6 December the Christmas tree will replace the Sint decorations!

This is really special, never seen before! Pete (St. Ruprecht) looks different too and he´s a happy guy, whereas here he´s always grumpy!

How nice that you make them feel at home. It is so important, as we humans are creatures of habit!
