Dutch Santa Claus

Humorist David Sedaris talks about how the Dutch understand St. Nicholas. Click this link, scroll down one episode to the one titled "Them." Click the link then fast-forward to 25 minutes in (unless you want to listen to the whole episode of This American Life). The Sedaris piece is 7 minutes long and very worth the trouble.
