[...] Sinterklaas comes tonight to all the good children in the Netherlands, on his horse, riding in the snowy skies across rooftops and chimneys. On ‘pakjesavond’ (present’s evening, which is tonight), kids get the final gifts in a series of presents that they have received since he came to the Netherlands a few weeks ago from his castle in Spain! Why he would leave warm climes, churros and sangria to visit us here, no one knows! [...]

Dear Ozoz,
Please please dont tell kids he is not real! Because he is!!! Listen, when the kids are older, the other kids will whisper and tell them HET GROTE GEHEIM VAN SINTERKLAAS… So then they will also be a bit more adult and help parents and teachers to keep the secret tradition alive! They can help parents and family to buy little presents for there younger friends and brothers and sisters….
Sorry Oz… Thats the real way to do it….So wait untill next year….
