I'm not Kimberley HISNAME.
(I'll forgive hyphenation because, hey, it's Christmas. ;-) But mostly because I think it's just Dutch people taking a shortcut rather than them thinking we've actually settled on a cacophony of compromise.)

St Nick & Co
Time: 11:30am
Rummaging in the cupboards, I found myself staring at the illustrations on the St Nicholas treats which Wingnut's mum had sent from The Netherlands. Why is it all men? St Nicholas, Black Peter(s), even the horse is male.
Which leads me to Santa and his elves. And the reindeer. All male. The only woman is Mrs Mary "Afterthought" Christmas.
(The Easter Bunny. Shut up brain, enough.)
