Sinterklass

December 5th is Sinterklass, a holiday similar to Christmas that is celebrated in The Netherlands and Belgium. It revolves around Santa Claus, who arrives by steamboat from Spain and hands out candy to all. Here is a picture:



What you might notice is that Santa doesn't have elves helping him out, he has black slaves! Somehow, I don't think this would fly in the US.
