Sinterklaas is Sinterklaas is a beloved figure in Dutch and Belgian culture, celebrated on December 5th and 6th. He is based on Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of children and sailors. Often depicted as an elderly man with a long white beard, Sinterklaas wears a red robe and a miter (a type of hat).

Traditions and Celebrations
Sinterklaas arrives in mid-November from Spain by steamboat, accompanied by his helpers called "Pieten." This marks the beginning of the festive season leading up to his birthday celebration on December 5th, known as "Sinterklaasavond" or "Pakjesavond," when children receive gifts. During this time, kids leave their shoes out, often with a carrot or hay for Ozosnel, Sinterklaas's horse, hoping for small gifts or treats in return.
