Dear community,
Last week was Sinterklaas week in Belgium and the Netherlands. I would love to hear your experience with this holiday! If you celebrated it this year, how you celebrated this holiday? And was it your first time?
This year I myself haven’t really celebrated it, however, I did have the pleasure of being asked to ‘play Piet’ for their children by knocking on my upstairs neighbours’ door and placing the bag of gifts in front of the door. Which was incredibly fun to do and to make those kids’ evening magical.
