Christmas in Holland

This week Lucas from 1-O told everyone about how he celebrates Christmas with his family.

Lucas has already celebrated this special day and he told us all about it.

Some of Lucas' family come from Holland and the 5th December is a very special day for them.

It is the day when Sinterklaas (St. Nicholas) brings presents!

St. Nicholas' day is on the 6th December, but in Holland, the major celebrations are held on the 5th December.

On the morning of St. Nicholas' Day, Sinterklaas travels with his helper called Zwarte Piet.

Children leave clogs or shoes out to be filled with presents They also believe that if they leave some hay and carrots in their shoes for Sinterklaas's horse, they will be left some sweets.

Lucas brought in lots and lots of yummy sweets and showed us the toy he got from Sinterklaas.

'Prettige Kerstfeest' to everyone!
