December 6th: Sinterklaas and 6-8 Black Men

The Hague, The Netherlands

Yesterday was December 5th. In addition to being a very special birthday, it was also Sinterklaas (St. Nicholas) Eve and today is Sinterklaas Day in the Netherlands. If you have not already, I highly encourage you to read or listen to David Sedaris' Esquire piece about the Dutch Saint Nick, entitled "Six to Eight Black Men." Very funny and insightful.

Happy Sinterklaasje day everyone!

Ha! No I was good this year so they only made a thinly veiled threat that they might have to kick me next year.
