In The Netherlands, Christmas celebrations are preceded by celebrations for Sinterklaas, a figure inspired by Saint Nicholas. Where does Sinterklaas travel from to bring presents for the kids?
The 5th December is a big day in The Netherlands. Children across the country join in traditions for Saint Nicholas’ day. This includes leaving a shoe by the fireplace or the window, in case one of Saint Nick’s helpers pops down the chimney and fills it with sweets.
