Sinterklaas comes from Spain in a steam boat


Saint Nicholas is a sort of celebration for Holland and some other countries. Saint Nicholas is a guy like Santa Claus and gives away presents. The story say’s he comes with his steam boat full with presents from Spain . And on 5 December, his birthday, he gives away presents to the children. He doesn’t really exist. But little children do think so. The parents buy the presents for real. But Saint Nicholas doesn’t come alone, but comes along with lot’s of black peters. This kind of a small intro about Saint Nicholas if you want more information use this link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinterklaas
All the best and greetings from Martijn Jansen, T2A, Hofstad Lyceum, The Hague
