Roxanna the eldest daughter of Bert celebrated sinterklaas ( Santa ) every 5th of December. It's an honor of the life of saint Nicholas and stands for generosity. The American version of Santa Claus derived from the dutch legend of sinterklaas. The legend of Sinter Klaas was brought by settlers to New York therefore, it was originated here in europe. Bert, Michele and I were there it was my first time to celebrate this feast day here in Netherland. They believed that saint Nicholas is not just a saint he is a kindly old man spending his life giving away his money to the poor people and doing well deeds especially to all children. It's so funny that I felt like a child and got excited also although I knew that this men were hired and just wearing costumes. The children Melissa and Wesley got a lot of gifts and they were very happy. Pic together with sinterklaas with his assistant Zwarte piet.
