I believe in Sinterklaas



That's right, I believe in Sinterklaas. Who else would buy all those presents for Dutch kids this evening, december 5th..?

Some people believe Sint Nicolas is really Santa Claus, but I don't believe that for a minute. You couldn't fool any Dutch kid with this theory, they don't look anything alike. Sinterklaas isn't fat and doesn't drink Coca Cola!

Besides, comparing Zwarte Piet (Black Pete) with a reindeer doesn't do him justice, and frankly, I would consider it racist!

Luckily I'm not the only one, listen to CocoRosie with Good Friday.

I believe in Saint Nicolas, He's a different kind of Santa Claus... Exactly!
