Thursday we celebrated ‘Sinterklaas‘. As a Dutch tradition we celebrate his stay in Holland every year. Basically it’s for the kids, where they get presents.
As a kid I enjoyed it, now I think it’s yet another commercial holiday which we celebrate in order to stimulate the economy. However it brings people together and that’s good. The non-believers don’t celebrate the traditional form. There are all kind of different forms in which adults celebrate. For example ‘Surprises’ in which you buy someone a small present and write a poem. However the present isn’t just wrapped in giftpaper. The person giving the present creates something personal. For example if you like cars, you get a hand-made scale model made from paper.
With the Enter-priZe entrepreneurs we celebrated it with a game of rolling dices. All participants get some small and stupid presents. Then there are three rounds where the numbers on the dice have different meaning. All the presents are on the table and sometimes you get the chance to pick one from the table. In round two you get to start stealing and exchange gifts from others. At the start of round three all gifts are unwrapped and then another round of switching starts.
We celebrated at our office in the hague. As the pictures show we had some cleaning to do afterwards!
