Op 2 december 2000 was Sinterklaas in de Nederlandse winkel. Ik heb hem daar voor het eerst mogen ontmoeten. Hier zijn wat plaatjes van dat bezoek en van de kadootjes die ik van hem kreeg.
Different that the Santa Claus of the U.S. Sinterklaas in the Netherlands is a Bisshop. We celebrate his birthday on December 5th (although his real birthday is on December 6th). On that day he gives us presents. Here are some pictures of my first visit to Sinterklaas and the presents I got.
I am afraid of Sinterklaas.
And when they put me on his lab I really have to cry.
I'm less afraid of Piet.
Sinterklaas gave dad and mom presents for me. He was much nicer than I thought.
Look, a doll bed. But I like to be in it myself. Like always I take my bear to bed and I am ready to put the blanket over me.
I put my legs all through the bars and lie with my head on the bedpost. But that wasn't so pleasant, so I got standing again. I have to try the present all through.
