Contest Week 62: EASTER!? closed for judging~ Last year alone Halloween got no less than 4 contests and the other holidays are jealous. October is here again but your goal these next couple of weeks is to draw any holiday in the world EXCEPT Halloween. It could be one from any country no matter how obscure the holiday is, and it doesn't even have to be a national holiday, but if you do draw Halloween just remember- Santa knows where you live. The rules this time are: -It must be ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinterklaas#Sinterklaasno reference used. Shoe Traditionally, in the weeks between his arrival and the 5th of December, before going to bed, children put their shoes next to the chimney of the coal fired stove or fireplace, with a carrot or some hay in it "for Sinterklaas's horse", sing a Sinterklaas song, and will find some candy in their shoes the next day, supposedly thrown down the chimney by a Zwarte Piet or Sinterklaas himself. However, with the advent of central heating children put their shoes near the boiler or even just next to the front door. Typical Sinterklaas candy is the first letter of the child's name made out of chocolate, chocolate coins, a figurine of Sinterklaas made out of chocolate and wrapped in painted aluminium foil, and coloured marzipan shaped into fruit, an animal or some other object. Children are told that Black Pete enters the house through the chimney, which also explains his black face and hands, and would leave a bundle of sticks or a small bag with salt in the shoe instead of candy when the child had been bad. Children are also told that in the worst case they would be put in the gunny sack in which Black Pete carries the presents, and be taken back to Spain, where Sinterklaas is said to spend the rest of the year. This practice however has been condemned by Sinterklaas in his more recent television appearances as something of the past. (I love wikipedia, saves my fingers from typing it all) |

Mm, yes. I love drawing anything that isn't reality. I get too much of that real crap in daily life, anyway.Still truckin' it.
I won't have much time to do anything else. :(
I've got a busy schedule ahead of me... yikes... I hope you guys like it, anyway.

And yes DK, Sinterklaas may have been the foundation of commercialism, I prefer to think commercialism took over Sinterklaas, because before stores, people made the gifts themselves. One of the other traditions I like(d) very much is "surpises" (pronounced surpreese - kinda French). Everybody draws a name out of a bowl, the name that is on the paper, is the one you give a gift. You make something that is specific for that person, a train for a train freak etc. And inside that you hide the real gift. Usually done in schools or sportsclubs for children. Lotsafun.
Auw, arms hurt now...
