Weekend tips for december 11, 12 & 13

Sinterklaas left and that means Christmas is coming! One thing I’ll do this weekend is put up a Christmas tree and visit one of the cool Christmas Markets. Nothing better then going to a Christmas Market with friends, drink glühwein and try out all of the Christmas bites! Do you want to get in the Christmas mood? Go to the Sissy Boy Christmas Market at Amstelveld or visit the Scandinavische Kerstmarkt at Muiderkerk!  >> Have an awesome weekend!
