Yesterday I got to take part in a crazy dutch tradition - dressing up as Zwarte Piet (Black Peter) and giving candy to lots of children! It was so much fun!
Sinterklas is the Dutch Santa Clause, only 100 times better and the Zwarte Piet are his helpers. Everyone in Holland gets into it and lots of the kids really believe the story. So my boss (Martin) invited me to help out at his son's soccer practise by surprising the kids with a little visit
Martin's son is the boy on the right in the picture below - he's just like his Dad! Really cute kid!
Another nice part about it was the fact that when I was young we also celebrated Sinterklas. Good memories!
