Very nice that the good saint is back in the country, but that requires the necessary preparations for parents. Next year we really start on time…

1. So nice, the holiday season has started again. Coziness, presents, good food; I can not wait.
2. Neither is the child, by the way, who has been sleeping with one eye open for three weeks because he thinks that Sinterklaas is at the door with every sound.
3. What?! Will it arrive in the Netherlands tomorrow? It’s mid-November?
4. Eh, then of course my child wants to put his shoe on right away.
5. God, but I have nothing in the house!
6. That spoiled apple in the fruit bowl can serve as a great snack for Ozosnel. But where on earth can I get a shoe gift so quickly without my curious toddler noticing?
7. *Googles “gifts delivered today”*
8. Forty euros for a silly toy car? I do not think so. I’ll drop the child off with grandpa and grandma; can i get a gift quickly?
9. Why is everything in the toy store so ridiculously expensive?
10. What would we do without Kruidvat, Action and Wibra.
11. So. Everything in house. Go, put on a shoe, add a song and child to bed. Then I can start packing nicely.
12. Do I hear two toddler feet coming down the stairs?
13. *Throws gift and wrapping paper into the kitchen cupboard like a man possessed*
14. “Honey, go back to sleep.”
15. “Yes, I know you’re excited, but you really need to go to bed now.”
16. “No, of course I won’t eat that apple for Ozosnel. I would not dare.”
17. “Yes, and the bowl of water is still there.”
18. “Good night!”
19. *Waked up at 05:00 in the morning by an enthusiastic toddler*
20. Well okay, we’ll go down. Will I snap an owl in a bit while the child is watching a Sinterklaas movie.
21. Well look, Sinterklaas has visited! And Ozosnel even took a bite out of the apple ;).
22. Oh and look, those drops on the ground. He must have spilled while drinking…
23. Are you happy with your gift? Yes? Just say ‘Thank you Sinterklaas!’”
24. What do you say, honey? Why is there a roll of wrapping paper on the kitchen table?
25. ….
26. ….
27. ….
28. Shit.
