Sounds really cool. . . I will have my kids (10 and 12) read this and they may have questions. . .

I thought the Piets were the Moores. . .didn't realize they were slaves. . .wouldn't let us do that here . . .

Hmmm they are black from going down chimney's depending on who you ask... But traditionally they where the man's slaves. You see, I'm from the Netherlands and I'm a shamed to say this country was very big on slave-trading... and got very rich from it. But really, that's not too much in the spirit of the day, and nowadays most people never think of it. Black Piet is just... Black. It´s just an interest of mine.

Just out of curiosity; Where do you live?

I'm interested in anything because we (husband and I) live to introduce children to a new concept.
