Sinterklaas Day and househunting day!

It's midnight and I can't sleep, so thought I'd post a little something!

Today is Sinterklaas Day in the Netherlands.
Some of what I learned about the day from Wikipedia:
Sinterklaas is the basis for the North American figure of Santa Claus. It is often claimed that during the American War of Independence the inhabitants of New York City, a former Dutch colonial town (New Amsterdam) reinvented their Sinterklaas tradition, as Saint Nicholas was a symbol of the city's non-English past.^[13] The name Santa Claus supposedly derived from older Dutch Sinter Klaas.
