Sinterklaas feest

on the 5th of december, Sinterklaas (Saint Nicholas) comes from Spain to our country and he gives all the good kids candy, clementines or toys. The bad kids get taken to Spain. It is usually a family celebration where kids sing songs the evening before. A few days in advance we also put our shoes with a letter or a carrot for his horse next to the fireplace. Then in return he puts something small in the shoe when we wake up.
