So, in Holland we celebrate this thing called Sinterklaas.
An old man called Sinterklaas who lives in Spain visits Holland every year during November & December to celebrate his birthday.
At 5 December, his birthday, he will visit every home with children to bring them presents and candy.
The weeks before once in a while children can put their shoe under the chimney in the evening.
When they wake up the next morning, there will be a present in the shoe.
Sinterklaas has a lot of helpers to bring the presents.
These helpers are called 'Zwarte Pieten'.
They are black because of the soot of the chimney.
Today Tisha & I played 'Zwarte Pieten', and it was so much fun!
I loooved to see how happy the children were to see us,
and It really made my day very special (:
We have a few pictures where you can see us as 'Zwarte Piet'.
Haha, we really look very ugly, but we still want to show them to you,
just for the idea!
(:
