Audio Advent Calendar #5: "Six to Eight Black Men", by David Sedaris

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!
