CHRISTMAS LIST?
Memories
of Christmas
in Holland
BY ADRIAN VOS
Just as children in Canada. the Dutch children go to Sunday
school, until they are considered to be educated enough in the
Bible stories to understand most of the sermons of the regular
church. The next winter they all go to the Junior chatechism
classes. usually on a weekday evening.
The high point of the Sunday school year is Christmas -day.
There, each age group receives a little present. The presentation
is made by the supervisor of the Sunday -school or the Minister.
For the little ones, this used to be an orange and chocolate milk
and a small story book. usually on a religious theme. All this was
enhanced by having the occasion in the churth and. to top it all.
