A Christmas card

A Christmas card sent from Stavanger, Norway. Although the sender states that the artist who created the picture is Swedish, but that is more or less the same style. Either way, a very nice card.

Holland


Received December 12, 2009

Ok, I finally had to go look this up because it's always confused me. The card says Holland on the front but it was an official card sent from The Netherlands. Now I always thought the two terms were interchangeable. Just two different names for the same country. I was wrong. Holland is a region within the country of the Netherlands. Now I know! :)
