Anne's Daily Encounters

Sinterklaas back in town

Sinterklaas, Saint Nicolas, always arrives somewhere mid November in the Netherlands and then secretly visits homes and schools in our country, what's noticed as he's left a small present for the children.
Today was his wonderful arrival party in Den Haag... and yes it's Sinterklaas on his white horse Americo.

Since 8 years his helpers, the Black Peters, are characterized by critics as colonial slaves, and we Dutchies who celebrate Sinterklaas are called racists ~ this all is quite a confrontation in our country what's not settled yet.
