On his way from Spain to Holland, Sinterklaas made a pit-stop in Beirut this Sunday. The Spanish bishop came to check on the little Dutch children, and little half-Dutch children – had they been good or not? After all, good children get presents, and bad children get bagged and taken back home to Spain.
And while the Sinterklaas was engaged in lively conversations with the children, the mothers were networking around a barrel of ‘bishopswijn’, better known as ‘mulled wine’.
H. was surprisingly shy with Sinterklaas,
did not want to look at him, did not want to let go of my hand and almost cried. So much for the otherwise bold soul. Once he left though, and turned his back, she gathered her courage and wanted to check out where he went.

After the party, Sinterklaas left for Amsterdam, where he is expected to hand out presents to all Dutch children on December the 5th.

H., …What a nice Sinterklaas to drop by in Beirut !
We guess he didn't tell about the Mail-Piet's job?
Still a few days to go, maybe this weekend??
Have fun, the most of all Sinterklaas is a very kind bishop who love to give presents, specially to children like you.
Love from Eindhoven, where Sinterklaas arrives tomorrow (wednesday).
