Sinterklaas and Ginger Snaps!

So it is December 6th and it is the feast of St. Nicholas. This reminds me of when I was in grade three. One of my best friends was Dutch and in Holland, Sinterklaas was a very important fellow. His feast day has become a very important Dutch tradition and young and old alike celebrate by making gifts and writing teasing poems and hiding them for the recipients to find. It is also a day for eating traditional Dutch goodies!

In grade three we celebrated at school and I remember finding ginger snaps in my shoes and around the class room. So celebrate the day of Sinterklaas! Sing some Dutch rhymes about the bishop and do-gooder with the long white beard and eat some of these ginger snaps!
