I also used to believe in Sinterklaas. I even pulled off thinking the two rather different people playing him (one dutch, one belgian) were the same person (namely Sinterklaas, damnit), despite very obvious discrepancies like where he lives, what his horse is called, how many people he employs, and whether he visits the dutch Sesame Street or not.
I also also used to think gnomes were just a myth. Now I know better!
