Saint Blip

Today a gift arrived in the same week Saint Nicholas (our dutch Santa) came all the way from Spain to celebrate his birthday on december 5.

Traditionally, before going to bed, children put their shoes next to the chimney, or fireplace, sing a song, and will find a gift in their shoes the next day.

Coincidence? I think not.

Saint Nicholas must be some dressed up Joe.



Thank you!
