Sinterklaas


I had a Sinterklaas party with my work. For those who do not know what Sinterklaas is, he is the dutch version of Santa. He comes from Spain on a boat with his white horse and black 'Piets'(his helpers)He was a real man - Saint Nicklas and did give presents to the poor about 400AD. The tradtion lives on since about 1500 and that is where Santa comes from. Here everyone receives presents on the 6th of December and not on the 25th. So Kate just had her first Sinterklaas. Though she did sleep through it all...
