Alex In The Snow

Our young guest writer Alex de Leeuw is back to tell us all about the fun he is having this December as he waits for Father Christmas .


Alex In The Snow
“Het sneeuwt!”
Vandaag was heel erg leuk, want het sneeuwde.


“It’s Snowing!”
Today I was very excited because it was snowing.

Alex In The Snow Cold
Ik ben buiten gaan spelen. Er lag heel veel sneeuw en het was koud.

I went outside to play. The snow was really deep… and cold.

Alex In The Snow Snowman
Ik heb een sneeuwpop gemaakt…
“Ik noem hem Fred.”


I made a snowman…
“I call him Fred.”

Alex In The Snow Snow Fort
…en een sneeuwfort…
“Ik heb sneeuwballen en ik zal ze gebruiken ook!”


… and a snow fort…
“I have a snowball and I’m not afraid to use it.”

Alex In The Snow Snowball
…en een sneeuwengel…
“Sneeuwengel! Weeee!”


… and a snow angel…
“Snow Angel! Weeee!”

Alex In The Snow Snow Angel
…ik speelde uren.
“Ik krijg het nu wel een beetje koud.”


… and played for hours.
“I’m starting to get a little cold now.”

Alex In The Snow Getting Cold
Aan het einde van de dag ben ik weer naar binnen gegaan waar het lekker warm was…

At the end of the day I went back inside where it was nice and warm…

Alex In The Snow Christmas Tree
“Hoelang nog voordat de kerstman komt?”
Prettige kerstdagen en een gelukkig nieuw jaar!


“How long till father Christmas arrives?”
Merry Chrsitmas and a Happy New Year!

Stuart is an accident prone Englishman who has been living in the Netherlands since 2001. Even his move to the country was an unintentional accident, the result of replying to a cryptic job advertisement he found one day in a local British magazine. Since then he has learned to love the Dutch (so much so that he married one of them) and now calls the country home. He started the blog Invading Holland in 2006 as a place to share his strange stories of language misunderstandings, cultural confusions and his own accident prone nature.

    You can’t fool me Stu. I know it’s only a puppet and it’s really you pulling the strings and writing the text

    Unless the lion is real and you are the puppet, and we’ve all been fooled all these years!
