It was nice to see all the little Dutch kids and some Japanese kids enjoy meeting with Sint and Piet, impressed as they were with the whole happening. For all the Dutch people it brought them back to their childhood, with warm memories in which family members read each others poems when unwrapping their presents.
It somehow resembles the US tradition of Thanksgiving where family members gather in just as much a warm atmosphere, but I am sure there will always be bigots who point out the cruelty to animals (that is, to the turkeys) and call the people involved all kinds of names. Well, that's life. It seems to be hard to convince the self-righteous.
So, did you lynch him?
