19.00h... The first kids knock at the door.

They can't reach the bell, haha! “Sint Maarten, Saint Martin...”. What nice lamps you have! , I say to the 5 children who have to look up for a while. They like candy but money even more fun so I decided to give them a little money this year. I'll get my jar... “Money? Do we really get money?” , asks one of the children. Yes, I say. Or is that not good? Yes! Yes! “We get shouted!” , one cried out to the group of parents, who stayed on the road. “Thank you!” , called one of the mothers. No thanks! , I call.

Now people sometimes say: A child's hand is soon filled. But that's true, haha! Many coins fell out of his hand. I said put it in your pockets. You guys are gonna split that up fairly soon, aren't you? With their mouths open, they looked at 'all that money', haha. How nice! What a fun party! And those little eyes that all look at you questioning. Well, I'm not a daddy and I don't really have any children around me. Practically never.

So actually this is secretly my party too, those enthusiastic little creatures that the world is still beautiful and exciting for. That makes up for my day, too.

Good night for later!
