Sinterklaas en zwarte piet

Sinterklaas en zwarte piet



Sinterklaas & zwarte piet have arrived in the Netherlands, traditional wise they come to holland by steamboat, every year another city is choosen to be the city they arrive, this year it was Schiedam.

From the moment that Sinterklaas arrives in the Netherlands, kids are allowed to put their shoe in front of the fire place, mostly they will put in a drawing for sinterklaas, a carrot or sugar for the horse (Amerigo) or a wishlist what they would like to have on the evening/night of the 4th of december (his birthday), Sinterklaas is left on december 5th.

The next morning the kids will find a small present in their shoe or some candy.

This is a traditional kids event, kids get very excited in this period and start singing all kids of Sinterklaas songs, the excitement gets its peak on the evening of december 4th or the morning of december 5th, when the kids get their presents and can start unwrapping them.
