Useless quote for 24 Dec:
"The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow,
Gave a lustre of midday to objects below,
When what to my wondering eyes did appear,
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny rein-deer,
With a little old driver so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment he must be St. Nick."
~ Clement Clarke Moore, "A Visit from Saint Nicholas" 1823, authorship claimed by Clement Clarke Moore in 1837

Saint Nicholas hasn’t even begun his run in the Netherlands and I’m already seeing people on Facebook posting completely made up stories trying to convince each other that Black Pete is not a racist stereotype at all.
Ye gods, the stupidity. And all just so they can keep their “traditions”.
