Enjoyed the article. Being half Dutch and living in The Netherlands, I’d like to point out a few ‘errors’: Dec 6 is St. Nicolas’ birthday, but the celebration is on St. Nicolas Eve, Dec 5. There is no such thing as St. Nicolas ‘Day’.
St. Nicholas usually arrives by steamboat around Nov 18, and from that day on children are allowed to put their shoe in front of the fireplace.
