Sinterklaas is coming tomorrow, and if you have been a good girl or boy and wear short enough skirts or shorts to please him, he may reward you with chocolate letters or presents hidden in a Jello mold along with some poem that reveals all of your faults and hidden secrets, I'm a little hazy about the details.
And if you were bad, Sinterklaas' 6 or 8 henchmen (all of whom are named Black Peter) will beat you with twigs and perhaps throw you in a sack and drag you back with them via steamship to their home in Madrid. Or is it Barcelona.
David Sedaris helpfully explains the legend of Sinterklaas to those of us who are not fortunate enough to be Dutch, accompanied by some really substandard video. Happy, er, Sinterklaas day!
