The great celebration of children is St. Nicholas and not Christmas; for weeks poetry takes hold and young and old play the game!
On the eve of December 6, St. Nicholas, perched on his horse, and his faithful Peter the Black roam the country in all directions. And just like Santa Claus, they distribute gifts and sweets to children from the rooftops. It's not a holiday you'll notice if you're just passing through the Netherlands. To discover the subtleties of this custom, you will have to get acquainted with the locals and then a wonderful world will open up to you with the St. Nicholas evening with its "surprises" and rhyming poems, etc.
