Sint-Maarten

We celebrate it on the 11th of December !! It's in celebration of the nameday of Martin of Tours, though I think not many people know it. Kids go around in the evening with a lantern they usually created themselves and go around their neighbourhoods to people's houses, where they sing a song (relevant to the celebration), and in turn receive candy. You could say it's pretty similar to Halloween ! :)
