Well, Happy Sinterklaas Eve to be exact.

Tomorrow is Dutch Christmas or Sinterklaas, named after the traditional figure which is in turn based on Saint Nicholas. Saint Nick’s birthday is tomorrow, December 5th.

My family celebrates Sinterklaas, so we won’t have a Geek Out piece this week, but we hope you have a nice holiday. Make sure you leave plenty of carrots for Sinterklaas’s horse, and you’re sure to get a chocolate letter and a lot of speculaas in your wooden shoes.

Prettige Sinterklaas.
