In the Netherlands it's on the 5th of December, Ron, not the 6th.
And it's SinteRklaas (although I would pronounce it "sinteklaas").

Sinterklaas already brought me a pair of nice fantasy novels this
evening :) One of those is the missing part in a whole series, so my
girlfriend will miss me the next couple months.

regards,
Henry

Ja, beste freon, miskien yn't Hollândsk.  We Friese neame de djure, âlde man
"Sinteklaas".  ;-)  (And I'm unanymous in that!)

Ah! Dit is maklik te ferjitte. In Dútslân is it op de seisde (meidat we der
ferduldiger binne).

Enjoy!
