If you regularly read Robert Scoble’s blog, you’ve probably seen his entry on the traditions surrounding the Dutch version of Santa Claus, Sinterklaas. Here’s a treat for him (and you) — David Sedaris explaining the Sinterklaas tradition, in a spoken-word piece titled Six to Eight Black Men.

  • Thank you so much for posting this piece!! I'm Dutch and LOVE this. I can also tell you that David doesn't lie at all about Sinterklaas: it's all true and I was raised with this story like every Dutch child. I can only laugh about my own culture when hearing it from David Sedaris!
