| Tree topper |

Although in the US there is no such thing as a second Christmas day, it does exist in Holland and therefore I allow myself to talk a little more about the holidays today…
Ever since we moved here I looked for a decent tree topper. Not an angel, a star, and not a baby Jesus. I wanted what we call a ‘piek’ in Dutch (this essentially translates to ‘peak’, like the peak of a mountain), a glass ornament that consists of two or three balls and then a cone on top of each other.
In Holland you can buy such an ornament everywhere, even in stores equivalent to CVS or Target. Well, it’s in that last store that I happened to stumble across a real ‘piek’ this year. It’s kind of big for our tree, and red with glittery thingies on it, but hey, I couldn’t resist. And voila… here it is:
