I was looking for American's abroad who were encountering other traditions and I came across your post. I would be interested in interviewing you briefly over the phone about if possible. Please e-mail me when you get the chance. I can be reached at stotten-at-mpr-dot-org (with real symbols and no dashes of course).<br /><br />I look forward to hearing from you.

You might still be there opening gifts! (Although if you ever got forced into writing a Sinterklaas poem, just plagarize the Night Before Christmas poem or the Partridge in a Pear Tree song. That's what we did last year when we found out we had to write poems to accompany the gifts we were giving.)<br /><br />I love the Cookie Crisp comparison! Perfect for me, since I tended to eat the cereal without milk anyway. This season I discovered the truffel kruidnoten. *drool* Sweet, sweet cocoa-powder-covered cookies, how I love you so! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
