That’s a funny coincidence! And yeah, recycling is very important! Good for the environment, let’s say.

@WETSRoosa Yeah both is celebrated, but most people do the whole presents-thing either on Sinterklas or Christmas. Not both. We do it on Sinterklaas and Christmas is just food, music, decoration, movies, visiting the church to see a choir and just family stuff. When we were young ”Sinterklaas” (an actor) would visit us with his ”zwarte pieten” on the 5th of December and he would read about us in his book and there would be this huge sack with presents my parents bought. We also celebrated it at school. Of course we all used to believe Sinterklaas really existed. This year we drew lots with our name and wishlist on it. We have to buy presents, fabricate some kind of poem and craft something creative in which you put the present, it’s called a surprise. We used to do that at school, but at home we do it without the surprise. I drew my sister’s lot and I have bought all the presents already, which was quite hard because the only thing she wrote down was ”just buy me something fun..or an H&M giftcard”, which isn’t fun to give. I yet have to write a poem, but it’ll probably be kind of mean since she behaved like a complete douchebag this year.
