...Dutch pope sports his mother's curtains then... That there is a yellow card for sheer Grinchism. One more and you will get a dose of the shower curtain avatar for a month. I wonder if I can add sound effects? We can ask the kids I suppose. |

When the Turk visits do all the people complain? Although widely thought to hail from the North Pole, Santa Claus is in fact originally from Turkey. The BBC's Mark Lowen visited the southern Turkish town of Demre to trace the roots of old Santa.Dec 24, 2014 Santa Claus's Turkish roots - BBC News - BBC.com www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-30595254Interestingly the bit about coming down the chimney is supposed to date from a saying that if there was no smoke from the chimney the people were poor and he threw a few coins down it. |

Half right.......after all people slept in the Netherlands when Turkish and Ottoman History was taught. (I slept in Australia when English History was taught). Interesting chap the Bishop of Myrna....St Nicholas...Patron Saint of Sailors...who chopped up his body and sent bits all over the world..... places like Bari and Mallaca come to mind. www.stnicholascenter.org/pages/myra-church/And I can tell you it is fairly cold in Demre in December...especially on a motorbike. |

Sinterklaas has arrived in Maassluis a bit after 12AM. Also about 30 people of the PC brigade protesting against the traditional 'black' depiction of Zwarte Piet (i.e. Black Peter). Seems the kids couldn't care less though  |
