Cytat The feast of Sinterklaas celebrates the name day of Saint Nicholas on 6 December. The feast is celebrated annually with the giving of gifts on St. Nicholas' Eve (5 December) in the Netherlands and on the morning of 6 December, Saint Nicholas Day, in Belgium, Luxembourg and northern France (French Flanders, Lorraine and Artois). The tradition is also celebrated in territories of the former Dutch Empire, including Curaçao and Suriname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old kindergarten teacher did that for her classes every year to teach us about that tradition. (I was a big fan by the way) I’m curious as to how this differs from country to country or from house to house. hckošice 1 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
