He just said: is the one we see now a hoax? Cause he's everywhere at the same time and his face looks different and the real one already died. So yes it was just a dumb joke. We met him yesterday in the city on his horse btw.
Sinterklaas. He comes here the 5th of december. Santa is his nephew.

Actually, I know him personally. He attends the Mennonite church I used to attend. His name is "Ed" (a pseudonym, obviously) and he's at the local mall every year




Don't tell me San.... er... Ed's not real!

The mennonite church? Yay!!! A peaceful anabaptist named after the Frysian Menno Siemens. Who would have thought?

Now I understand why they're called Mennonites. Lutherans aren't called "Martinites," you know, or Calvinists "Johnists."

Did things happen in your youth so you feel you have to give presents to everyone to feel accepted?
How was your father? Go back to your toddler years. What did you feel then?

Calling them Simonites would be unpleasantly suggestive of Simony so Menno Simons' first name became the name for them as Mennonites. Martin Luther's followers became known as Lutherans and John Calvin's followers became known as Calvinists so Mennonites is consistent - with the understanding that Simon was not really available without seriously prejudicing people against them.
