... and other Sinterklaas songs were on the program yesterday as we celebrated this Dutch festive evening with Panic. First, everyone got a turn at Sinterklaas's lap and was spoken to by the bishop and his servant. Those of us who were known for a small vice (for example, often being late) got a stern remark, others were just thanked for something they did for Panic.
For the second part of the evening, everybody had had to bring three presents for about 5 euros in total, which were then distributed among the group in a game. What exactly had to be done (swap presents, rotate all clockwise, ...) was determined by dice rolls. Of course, when all presents were unwrapped, everyone went swapping once again to get those presents he/she liked best, with strange mercantile deals being made.
I came back with - amongst others - a 3D variety of noughts and crosses called Trimula, published in the 90s, although the picture on the box makes it look like it's at least two decades older.
