Did you know that the Dutch Normalisation Institute (also known as NEN) has an overview of rules for our Sinterklaas?

You can find it here and it tells you things like (in different chapters):

“grof-juten” – omhulsel waarin geschenken worden aangeleverd
“roede” – wordt in incidentele gevallen door Zwarte Piet gebruikt voor tuchtiging van personen die niet het vereiste braafheidgehalte in acht hebben genomen.
“Het neerstorten van het paard”
“Het in ongerede raken van de baard”
“Rituele handelingen”
“Richtlijnen voor Stichtelijke bedreigingen”
“Spanje” – land waar Sint-Nicolaas nooit is geweest

And it’s all meant serious (update: I thought it was :p) — although it’s very difficult to take it serious. Typically Dutch, I guess.
