Rocky,
Is there a move in society to want to change Sinterklaas' Zwarte Pieten?

No. Not at all, surprisingly enough. There are always a couple of people who want to ban it, but the vast majority want the tradition to be continued. An even bigger part is just totally oblivious to it.

Must look like one hell of a racist holiday to you guys, though.

It doesn't matter to me. I get frustrated when things change due to the perceived need for "Political Correctness". But I understand the sensitivity some would have when a link can be drawn from Satan to Piet. And worse yet, from Satan to Piet through the Spanish. :tongue3: j/k

Merry Christmas to all of you. We have a potent snowstorm on the way, we are expecting over eight inches and surely it will be fun.

Happy Christmas to all!

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

I haven't seen any version of that movie. Both Santa and her have quite an accent, btw. Lol.

Pretty nice feel good moment. Read up on it a little and I must say that it's a shame that the 1994 version takes the easy way out.

Meanwhile, Susan sees Kris talking and singing with a Dutch World War II orphan girl in her native tongue and begins to wonder if perhaps Kris is real. (In the 1994 remake, Kris communicates with a deaf girl via sign language.)

Interesting.. Thanks for the links.. I had a good read. I know, I'm uncultured, but honestly I never knew about that holiday.

Yeah.. We are gearing up for at least 10 inches.. reports are saying there'll be areas hit with 20 inches. Also, The National Weather Service said, "THIS EVENT MAY BECOME COMPARABLE TO THE HALLOWEEN SNOW STORM OF 1991"

Yeah, it's a shame.. But wasn't the 1994 version set in the current time frame? It'd be hard for Santa to communicate with a Dutch orphan girl in 1994.

Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!
