Sinterklaas

It is basically like Christmas but for children in the Nederlands! Every year in November/ December an old men called “Sinterklaas” comes to the Nederlands with his helpers to give out candy and gifts. It’s basically a dupe of Santa…. but the Nederlands decided to be different or something. Fun fact: it has his own news channel called “sinterklaas journaal”. Kids can watch it to see the “journey” sinterklaas makes with his boat. They usually make it scary. For example: “the boat is out of fuel and stuck on sea”. In the end it always ends good.
