It's just that Sinterklaas is so much fun, otherwise I would have blamed him for disrupting our Christmas celebration. We can only go all out with the Christmas festivities on December 6th. In New York, the reindeer are already hanging above Fifth Avenue. Not to mention London.

Liesbeth laughs at me very hard when I say that I find Christmas aesthetically more beautiful than Sinterklaas. But those beautiful Harrods-like gifts look so much better than all those multicolored packages covered in chimneys that are in a burlap sack? I think it's great, but for Christmas, I would prefer to emigrate to London. Drinking tea at Claridges and then swooning over the tree that is decorated by a different designer every year.

If you can't get the girl to London, then just bring London to the girl. In England, you have the most beautiful advent calendars with which you can count down to Christmas from December 1st. And no, these are not those silly, sticky factory chocolates. You want this. Various bag flacons from Joe Malone, or a body lotion, or the best-selling perfumes from Selfridges.

I would say: hint your love or just order it for yourself. Bring Christmas into your home during Sinterklaas and feel wonderfully in London.
