This Sinterklaas season was infinitely better than last year when everything was cancelled and Pete had COVID and we were stuck at home most of the time. As cases rose, Sinterklaas entrances began to get cancelled, but Amsterdam kept theirs, albeit different than usual. He sailed up the Amstel as usual, but then transferred to a smaller boat and sailed along Prinsengracht instead of transferring to his horse and traveling by foot through the city center. We watched from there and found the whole thing to be awfully subdued. Hardly any music and only a few boats in his entourage. Oh well, better than nothing!

On the night of December 5th, Sinterklaas came! All of a sudden the doorbell rang and there was the sack of gifts by the door! And some happy kiddos. Thanks, Sinterklaas for bringing joy into our home during a time of high anxiety. We'll tell Santa you say hello!
