What you can do if you don't celebrate Sinterklaas tonight

My family received a visit from Saint Nicholas on November 26, because it was inconvenient for him to come tonight. The result? A Saintless evening, which I am totally okay with by the way. I find the man particularly saintly, but I am more of the ho-ho-ho type. But if you leave that burlap sack outside tonight, I still have some great ideas for you to do.

1. Alles is Liefde is on television. I mean: grab the wine and open the chips.

2. Bring your Christmas tree inside, because you will only find like-minded people at the garden center or hardware store now. You’re going to have a peaceful Christmas.

3. Go to the supermarket and stock up on candy and sprinkles for half the price. You’ll be eating ginger nuts and letters for months.

4. Write a poem, because you’re still celebrating it in two days (hi, it’s me here) and you haven’t put a word on paper yet. Rijmwoorden.nl, I’m going on a date with you tonight.

5. If you’re at the supermarket anyway, throw the new Allerhande into the shopping cart, that’s the double-thick Christmas edition and it will make you double thick too. It’s quite nice.

6. Simone was still talking about exercising, but then I just shouted that I’m writing this post today.

7. Taste wine, because you want to serve something decent at your Christmas dinner. Who cares that it’s Tuesday.

8. Get annoyed on Instagram at everyone who has summoned Saint Nicholas, because that man is already busy enough tonight.

Merry Christmas. I mean ho, ho, ho, Saint Nicholas hasn’t even left the country yet.
