Thanks for the link to the Sinterklaas info -- my favorite part is:
All Dutch children know that Sinterklaas (the name is a corruption of Sint Nikolaas) lives in Spain. Exactly why he does remains a mystery, but that is what all the old songs and nursery rhymes say.
Makes so much more sense than living at the North Pole! Given the choice, I'd certainly rather live in Spain. :->
