A beautiful sunset...

'Come on, the big oven can finally turn on'. Nick called out to his grandson. 'Just a little calm with the temperature hey, we don't want to bathe directly in sweat like it was a heat wave.'

Tjoven couldn't live up to his luck. On Christmas Eve, he thought this was the most fun night of the year. When the wood was made in the large oven and they started making cookies for the first time after all these long and dark months. The whole baking workshop filled with the scents of all kinds of herbs and freshly baked speculoos.
Later in the autumn, chocolate was also added. But in the spring, the speculoos were baked first. For this purpose, the resin had to be fired and so the earth could warm up wonderfully for the summer.

As a child, he had once traveled to Europe with his grandfather on the sleigh in mid-May. A real rarity, because in order not to arouse too much suspicion, the sleigh is almost never used outside December. But that evening, something urgently needed to be picked up and he was allowed to go to Europe with his grandfather Nick.
There they had seen a phenomenon that people described as 'beautiful sunset'. One where the air turns deep orange and you can feel the warm one after.

While all the people were staring at the sky, he had secretly looked at his grandfather, glaring. After all, he knew better, because the older man had ordered the afternoon to light the ovens back so that the cookies were ready in time for Christmas.
