What did November bring?

Ok, lets start with a BIG smile!
Commençons avec un grand sourire!
So...what is November all about in Holland? St Nicolas is the BIG thing of november in Holland. Mum and I were I bit surprised; Our first St Nicolas...You see, it starts beginning of November: He arrives in Holland (We were there under pouring rain when he showed up on his boat with all his Petes.) ....tours the country....and.....brings us all GIFTS!!!! He is quite a nice a guy and I got the chance to exchanged a few words with him.
Alors, que se passe-t-il d'intéressant aux Pays-Bas en Novembre? St Nicolas est le Héro du mois. Maman et moi étions un peu surprises; notre premier St Nicolas. Ca commence début Novembre: Il arrive en Hollande sur son bateau avec ses aides "Zwarte Pete" (d'ailleurs cette année il a mal choisi son jour, il pleuvait des cordes. J'en suis tombée malade) et ils font le tour des Pays-Bas pour nous donner à tous pleins de cadeaux. Il est plutôt sympa et nous avons même eu l'occasion de discuter un peu.
