Christmas Special: WTF?

Ah, Christmas is coming soon. Expecting some good presents. But wait, what the hell is it all about? I think we can dismiss the "Baby Jesus" thing, because that's really New Years. So what's with the jolly fat guys?

Let me tell you a secret; Santa Clause is not real! It's pretty easy to figure that one out. Did you know, in The Netherlands they have a much more realistic version of Santa. There are the basics; presents for the kids, candy, chimney, festivities, but much more believable. See, in The Netherlands, we (did I mention I'm Dutch?) have Saint Nicholas, or commonly known as Sinterklaas, and we party 20 days earlier on December 5. Now I'll make a few comparisons, and you'll find out which one is more legitimate.

1. Santa lives on the North Pole, Sinterklaas lives in Spain.
2. Santa comes flying in on a sleigh, Sinterklaas has a boat. (You could actually fit more presents on a boat!)
3. Santa has magical reindeer, Sinterklaas has a horse.
4. Santa fits his old, fat ass down every chimney, Sinterklaas has hundreds of black people to do it for him. (They turn black from the ashes in the chimney.)
5. Santa dumps all your presents under a tree, or in a sock, Sinterklaas's helpers deliver to your front door.

Now you don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out. Sinterklaas get's you just as many presents, and it's fine for kids to believe in! Sinterklaas is actually based on a historical figure that was nice to kids, and this festival is in his memory. This way the Dutch can actually truly focus on the Jesus thing during christmas. But they don't... They do the Santa thing... Even after the Sinterklaas thing...
