The FastDay Forum

And I thought I was late for joining the Tuesday fasting squad
Anyone of your lurkers joining me today? After a copius weekend of celebrating our Dutch 'Sinterklaas' (Dutch version of Santa, celebrating his birthday on December 5), I am in need of some serious fasting. Hope you are doing well and have a successful fast without too much hardship.

I didn't know Father Christmas had a birthday (of course he must!! )

I'm late checking in today.. I had a driving lesson this morning, then went and did my Theory Test... and PASSED I didn't attempt fasting yesterday because I was home all day swotting up and it wasn't enough of a distraction!
Today is going well though, only a couple of hours, maybe three, til dinner; but lots to do between now and then anyway.

Hi @chichi13 Congratulations on passing your Theory Test
And our Sinterklaas is not exactly the same guy as Santa (he is a bishop: Saint Nicholas), but he does bring presents to our kids (and adults as well) on his birthday. Traditionally Santa does not bring presents at X-mas in Dutch families.
