Last weekend i completely forgot that the BIGGGGGEST Dutch celebration for children started. It is the time that Sinterklaas came with the steam boat from Spain to The Netherlands. And he has helpers (Pieten) and they give special candies (pepernoten) and other sweets to children. And on 5 December it is his birthday and children get several presents. Before that day they can put their shoe at a fire place or at a window and in the evening they get a chocolate letter (of the first letter of their name) or small gifts.
Thank you @-Kiki-!!! Do you also have lootjes with friends? Sorry i have NO idea what the English word is for that!!! It means that you put names on a small paper and you get one paper out and you make a surprise gift for that person AND you make a small poem!!! π
And I did not know that you also celebrate Sinterklaas in Belgium @Fleurke!! π

I do lootjes with my family! It has become a tradition since we don't do it at school anymore. πΌ
Did anybody who celebrated it yesterday had a nice time and get nice gifts? π I got from Rituals the Sakura body cream (Organic Rice Milk & Cherry Blossom) even when it was little bit more expensive than 10 Euros!! π₯°π₯° I use most of times with 0% because it is better for the skin but this is really nice too so it is a very nice gift and i told him that!! But because you have a lootje it is always a surprise who has to buy you a gift until everybody got it! π
For Zineb I bought the Essence calendar with all kinds of make up. Yassir was happy with the chocolate and board games and Lego and everything about football
