Thomas, does Black Pete have any relation in lore to the Russian Black Peter ?

Or is the names just familiar ?

BTW, I love Sinterklaas' outfit ...... He looks like the Pope

I'm not sure, but they could be the same. I translated his Dutch name (Zwarte Piet) into English, but his official English name may be Black Peter

Here's a couple photo's from Christmas 1977 or 1978, they're undated on the back so I'm not totally sure. Anyways, a couple of my favorites, but with a bowl cut, footy pj's and a brand new stretch how could they not be. Hope you can use these for your project Brian, I would be honored if they're included.

I have a Christmas tale of tragedy involving an AHI Creature, but sadly, no pics to go with it.

Cool pics Thomas!

Brian, are these helpful in any way, pics you could use for your project?

[Meule]

Oh, and before this turns into a racial thing, Black Pete isn't black because he's African-American, but because of the dirt from climbing down the chimnee

OK, here we go, did find one Christmas pic

But the best pics are from 1980, a year too late for your project, but I'll share them anyway, you decide wether you want to use them or not
The doorbell just rang, we're looking through the window and you can tell by my brother's face he's pretty excited

We're looking at Sinterklaas and Black Pete and I still can't believe they're in my house. "Oh, the stories i will be telling at school tomorrow." My brother is just about peeing himself from excitement

Sinterklaas takes out his book to see if we've been good little boys and if we deserve presents.

Time enough for one last pic before they go to the next house.

Bring it on!

Cool, I'll scan them all tomorrow

Great pic, nice Star Bird! You also have a Star Wars Electric Toothbrush in the foreground.
