Your story sounds familiar: there is only one book Sinterklaas carries these days. It has all the children's names in it, but no longer whether they were good or bad; modern day Sint assumes they are at least full of good intentions and that's what counts;) It does list what they want for presents though:)

Mind you; my family goes a little crazy when celebrating, it's more common to pick one name out of a hat and make a surprise package and poem for that person (those mostly make fun of events in the past year). As you have seen we make something for everyone that joins our party, resulting in a table full of presents and hours (and hours) of fun:)
Most people only write poems and sadly more and more people skip Sinterklaas in favor of Christmas, since that's less work. *pouts* I hope you can convince your family to start celebrating Sinterklaas (If not you're more than welcome to join us over here next year) :-D
