Silvester is also the German term for New Year's Eve. It's named after the anniversary of the death of Pope Silvester I on 31 December 335 (according to the German Wikipedia entry). A grand tradition, which I plan to fulfill with the help of YouTube this year, is to watch Dinner for One. Now if only I could find some oliebollen to go with the Sekt.


Ceci n'est pas un seing.
