Animal Wednesday: hamster present

In the Netherlands every year on 5th December we traditionally celebrate "Sinterklaas", patron saint of Amsterdam. He and his white horse arrive in his boat from Spain and brings presents for all the children. Chocolate letters and chocolate coins are often accompanied with these presents. Read more about our Sinterklaas-feast at Wikipedia.

Why this historical information: a friend of mine has taken, in the spirit of this feast, wonderful pictures of his hamsters:

Thank you Martin, for letting me use these pictures on my blog!

Happy Animal Wednesday!

  1. This is very funny Brigitte, and the pictures are very well done. This afternoon the Sinterklaas journaal starts again so both of my kids can't wait till the Sint arrives again.
