Christmas in Holland, Part 2

I have been getting into writing again, and my break is definitely over. So I am just going to post a whole bunch of pictures, as I don't want to keep you, our readers, waiting too long. Brian starts classes tomorrow, so he is going to be getting busy with new semester things as well.
