A Dutch Holiday.
One of my workmates,
a Dutchman whose last name happens to be Holland,
strangely enough,
gave all of his/my team members a chocolate deHeer letter
- made in Rotterdam, Holland.
I was doubly lucky because Kelly gave me hers.
I told her I would have been happy no matter what the letter - W, X, Y, or Z.
St. Nicholas was actually a Turkish priest who was such a good person that he was accorded the same role in Holland as 'Santa Claus' was here.
On Christmas, though, the day is celebrated just as the birth of Jesus - no Santa.
St. Nicholas day is Dec. 6.
May St. Nicholas be good to all of you.
