Hello all !
Does anybody know something about the above mentioned Sinterklaas customs of
the Frisian Islands ? I'd be very glad to learn about because I'd like to
compare such information with own experience and research on a very special
custom of a distinct place of Eastern Friesland.
Kind greetings
Holger
