my fav movies of 2010 SO FAR would be Toy Story 3 and Despicable Me! Gru is So Evily Epic! but yet has a soft side ( and he's a good dancer XD ) But WAY Too Many Minions-in-screen D: Movies I'm looking forward to see right now are Scott Pilgrim and Sint. Dutch horrormovie! X3 info can be found here: www.dickmaas.com/sint.htmlParents are Moaning about the fact that this Child-Friendly image of Netherlands is suddenly a murderous man XD

In a nutshell, our "Sint Nicolaas", or "Sinterklaas" as he's called more commonly, is literally the Dutch equivalent of Saint Nicholas. The worldwide-commonplace Santa Claus (which is also a derivative of Saint Nicholas) is called "De Kerstman" here, which roughly translates to as much as "the Christmas-man".

Over here, pretty much yeah. Even though they're both originally based on St. Nicholas of Myra, the name "Saint Nicholas" brings the connotation to Sinterklaas here moreso than that of Santa Claus. But they both bring candy and gifts to the children. Also, whereas Santa Claus is usually depicted as a jolly fatso, Sinterklaas generally has a "normal" build.
Jusy try wiki-ing Sinterklaas if you need more detail.

Love Roger? sorry but he's taken =P (Sorry to go off topic of the thread) I could be wrong, but you're his girlfriend right? If you are: Aww, that's cool. Sorry I didn't notice before. I knew he had one and I've seen pics but I didn't consider she'd be here on the forums.
