The kids are happy

Dutch kids are rejoicing today. In just a couple of weeks they can expect their winter gifts from Saint Nicholas or Sinterklaas, the original Santa Claus. As per tradition he arrived in Holland by boat from Spain, where he lives with his helpers called Black Peter. From this evening until December 5th kids can set their shoes, filled with carrots for Sinterklaas' horse, near the fireplace in order to find it filled with chocolates or presents the next morning.
