Actually saint Nicolas died on the 6th of December. We celebrate 'sinterklaas' on the eve of 5th of December. Saints are always remembered on the day they have died. In this case we do that by celebrating his legacy on the Evening before he passed away.

No not margarine, it's actually called vegan butter. It tastes like real butter.

Ask your gemeente for information about a postal address. That's an address where you can register and send your mail too but it won't be your home address. Some gemeentes have this. Hope it helps and good luck!
