Sinterklaas

Sinterklaas is a very old tradition in belgium and in the netherlands. Its basically a man, his horse and his servant who live in spain and they come once a year to our country (by boat) and bring the children candy and presents. So in the evening, the children grab their shoe and put it next to the fireplace. They put Some carrots in it for the horse and a letter with what they want. In the morning their letters are gone and there are a lot of presents and candy in the childrens shoes!
