Ok sorry if this offens but can i ask what is Sinterklaas?

It's for questions like these that Wikipedia exists.
Short quote from it: "Saint Nicholas Day is a festivity for children in much of Europe related to surviving legends of the saint, and particularly his reputation as a bringer of gifts. The American and British Santa Claus derives from this festivity, the name 'Santa Claus' being a degeneration of the Dutch word Sinterklaas."

(And back to the lj entry:) I love the earrings you got, they're exactly the kind of thing I like to wear. Do you know where Sinterklaas got them from?

Well... Sinterklaas got them from a small shop here in B'wijk, called 'Yedaki'. They sell spiritual stuff (books, incense, clothes, statues, Tarot cards, jewelery etc.). :3

I also really like that Krezip song! I love Jacqueline's voice.
Good presents (Sinterklaas rocks, although he didn't buy me anything CSI-related and he mentioned in a poem that NG-fanfiction creeps him out, that just made me giggle;-)

*snickers* If I should believe the poem I got, Sinterklaas tried to buy something else first, but couldn't find that. I lucked out I guess. :'3
(My dad had me, and he uh... doesn't like CSI. So I was actually amazed he got me the DVD. XD)
