basicly the story of saint nick and his kindness etc went over to giving people presents so he's our santaclauss sort of (for young people) and at teh usualy age when they find out it's not real like easterbunny's etc. we start with the suprice which is th hobby crap with a present and a poem.
this poem is more sort of like in the sinterklaas sfear. so it's usually a bid about sinterklaas, some jabs under the belt of something that happened lately and hinting towards the present and or the thing you put together. it's not really a literary masterpiece ;)
