And what a pity St. Nicholas doesn't stop at my place anymore - otherwise next year I'd try to put the polished wallet out for him to fill instead of the boots...(maybe a bit too grabby though...). Kees, I'm sorry, it's not the wallet.

Hint #2 (as addition to hint #1): ...especially in size 14!

Okay! "Sinterklaas", shoes ..... Lincoln had big shoes to fill. According to Johnston & Murphy, which has made shoes for presidents since 1850, Lincoln had a size 14 shoe, the biggest in presidential history. It was one size bigger than Bill Clinton (President Obama wears a size 12). Is it the lining of Lincoln's shoes?
