ons voorgeslag in die land 'n bedroewege spul skepsels sonder pret die Lewe
deur gevaar het nie, in teendeel. Maar ons kermisse, ons nagmaalbyeenkomste,
ons vendusies, opsit, troue, dope en selfs begrafnisse, moes die nodige gees
van samesyn en geselligheid dra, en hulle het. Lees maar uit die boeke van
buitelandse besoekers, hoe kon die plaasboer darem opskop! </span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.0866in;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;" lang="NL">Amen, daar ben ik het volkomen mee eens.
Daarom ben ik ook zo blij dat we in Nederland beide Sinterklaas met cadeautjes
voor de kinderen vieren en Kerstfeest met alleen maar witte kaarsjes in de
boom! Wat ik daar zo heerlijk van vind is dat het een plechtig Christelijk feest
is dat ook de Heidense hoop op de jaarlijkse vernieuwing in zich mee draagt.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="NL"></span></p>
