FRED: My Dutch neighbor from Amsterdam helped me with the following greetings: Zalig Kerstfeest (Merry Christmas) and Gelukkig Nieuw Jaar (Happy New Year). I am sure the rest of the Tinplate regulars join me in wishing you these holiday greetings in your native tongue!

FRED: Love that LGB RhB baby croc - I have the #414 digital sound croc - one of my all time favorite locos. My Dutch neighbor here in Nashville also explained that two days are celebrated for Christmas in the Netherlands, one for the family and the second for friends. Sounds like a good plan!
Waeshal was the Anglo Saxon greeting for Christmas.
