Dive into the Festive Season

No more (culture-)shocked musings about the zwarte piets (black petes) that help the Sinterklaas. Up close I found them even actually nice and sweet. Perhaps it's like xenophobia; now that I know one, I think they're all not so bad after all. Perhaps I'm integrated. Or jet-lagged. Who knows?!
