Last saturday Sinterklaas arrived in Holland. He is fake (duh!) but used to be a saint from Turkey. Somewhere something changed in the legend and nowadays he comes from Spain to celebrate his birthday om the 5th of december. Sinterklaas comes by boat to Holland to bring all the children gifts for HIS birthday. His helpers (the coloured men) are called 'Zwarte Pieten'.
Here he is welcomed by the mayor of Sliedrecht, the town I work in.
