Yes Ligia, Sinterklaas did arrive from Spain in Holland again this year with his boat :) On 6 decembre he leave the country but before that children are every morning exiting to find some present in their shoe... Sinterklaas is on his horse when it is night, on the roof and he gives present to every good child. He has some helping hands...the called Zwarte PIet...(Black Pete). And the children love Sinterklaas so much!
