Day 54: Happy Sinterklaas! (+ Mozart's Death Day)

Today Sinterklaas: Holland's equivalent to Christmas for our international readers.

Saint Nikolaas' helpers put bad children in bags and take them away. Remind you of anyone?


Enjoy your pepernoten, taaitaai and chocolate letters today!

EDIT: On top of merry ol' Sinterklaas, its also Mozart's death-day today. He either died a slow death from illness that he suffered in his later life or, rumor has it, was murdered by his rival Antonio Salieri. Either way, rest in peace Mozart!
